Let's see. Oh, we got problems, don't we? It looks like we successfully logged into Rumble and Locals, and it looks like neither YouTube nor X have gone live. What would that be, do you think? Do you think YouTube is cutting off Rumble? Well, you're all here and I'm here, so interesting. So it's just going to be Rumble and Locals today. Do you think I should try restarting it? What do you think? Probably not. If I get out and get back in, I think all it's going to do is start where it is. All right, well, we're just going to call that a technical problem. It's not going to slow us down a bit, but I just got demonetized, so we'll see if the show is any better once I'm demonetized. Oh, look, we've got some YouTube people coming in now. Oh, that's interesting. So YouTube's online. It looks like only X is failing. I wonder why. Don't know.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of your entire life. If you'd like this to go up to a level that you can't even understand with your tiny, shiny human brain, well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a demitasse, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind to fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And wow, it happens now. So good. So good.

Well, here's some science updates, and we'll talk about the DNC and Harris and RFK Jr. and UFOs and anything else you want to talk about. But just so you know, all the cool things that are coming according to Wired: mRNA technology could be used to make your damaged liver good again without a transplant. How about that? There's actually a technology that can heal a mouse's liver, not completely apparently, but it makes a big difference. So we might be on the verge of giving you new organs with a shot. Can you imagine that? "Oh, my organs are failing." "That's okay. Come here. I'll give you a shot." And then all your organs start rebuilding themselves. That's a real thing that might actually be coming.

Well, MedicalXpress publication says that there's some indication that THC, that would be the active ingredient in marijuana, reverses brain aging and enhances cognition in mice. Now, you know what I'm going to say, don't you? You know what I'm going to say. Now, I don't recommend marijuana for anybody because it's a medical product in my opinion. I don't think marijuana has the recreational value that people use it for, but medically it has some real uses. And they could have saved a little money because I will tell you that my own experience is that, well, I'm just going to say it. I'll say it as directly as I can. There isn't a chance in hell I would be meeting five deadlines a day, creating new content, without a little help. My aging brain would not be able to sit down every single day and write seven new jokes. I'm telling you, my own experience is that it's a brain enhancer, and to me it's obvious. Now, I don't recommend it. You should only talk to a doctor and don't drive a car, and if you're under 18, it'd be stupid to do weed. It would just ruin your life. So I don't recommend it. But on this one limited claim that they're talking about low doses, by the way, oh, this is important. They tested low doses. Now, my experience is that if you're a daily, let's say, medical user, you get used to it, and then what would be a high dose for somebody else is kind of a low dose for you. So it could be that I've been low-dosing for a while anyway.

There's a trailer for a movie. You know, the advertisement for a movie called the trailer. The movie is Megalopolis, but they had to remove the trailer because apparently it included some quotes, some praising quotes from critics that those critics never said. How do you think they ended up with a bunch of quotes from critics about their movie that they never said? Well, I don't know if there's a specific explanation of how it went wrong, but here's my guess. "Hey, ChatGPT, can you tell me what the critics say about the movie?" "Well, so-and-so says it's the greatest movie and it will change your life." Okay, and they write that down and they make the trailer with those quotes, only to find out later that ChatGPT literally made it up. Now, the story doesn't say that's what happened, but isn't it obvious? If you had to place a bet, if you've used AI, by the way, you'll know this. It does make stuff up. I ask AI about myself just because that's the easiest thing to check. It makes stuff up, things I've never heard of, awards I've never won. I mean, it's just completely fantasizes about people. So that's probably what happened.

But I have a standard for judging things like this and most other things. I don't believe in judging people by their mistakes because if you did that, you'd just hate everybody all the time. I mean, humans are just making mistakes all over the place. There's nobody you know who hasn't made mistakes that you think they shouldn't have. So instead of judging people by their mistakes, because nobody makes a mistake intentionally, judge them by what they do when they get caught or when trouble happens and how they respond. Well, here's how they responded. I guess Lionsgate is the entity that put it out. They said, quote, "We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and 'Megalopolis' for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry." Almost perfect. Almost perfect. I will accept it as completely sincere-sounding, and they didn't look to blame anybody, did they? It would have been really easy to blame somebody. Nope. Lionsgate said, "Our mistake. We apologize." But there's one thing missing. One thing missing. Steve Jobs knew how to do this. The one thing missing is what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do so you don't do it again? So they said it was a mistake in the vetting process, but just this little bit of improvement would have taken them to A+. It's already an A-minus. It's very acceptable. I think they did a good job with it. But if they just said, "We're going to redo our vetting process," maybe even telling us what went wrong. You know, "We relied on an internet search. We're going to have to make sure that we verify things." Something like that. So always you should take full responsibility, but then you got to say what you're going to do to not make that same mistake again. That's perfect if you get that.

All right. YouTube apparently has some new feature that I'm also assuming is AI-driven, something they wouldn't have been able to do before, I think, which is they're going to allow you premium users, the people who pay to be on YouTube, allow them to skip sponsored segments in YouTube videos. Now, what would be a sponsored segment in a YouTube video? What it would be like me giving a commercial for a product, which I would never do because people would skip it. Now, would YouTube be able to pick out that this is not a sponsored product but rather my own product? And would the AI make a distinction? So when I say I've got a new book, and the main reason I do social media is so people could know if I have a new product, if I tell people about my new product, are they going to introduce a button so you can skip it? I don't know. Is the AI smart enough to know that this is my product and that's very different than a sponsored advertisement? I don't know. We shall see.

But the effect of that would be to actually destroy a huge bunch of people whose entire money comes from doing sponsored commercials on YouTube. It won't destroy it right away because people won't know the button's there and maybe the feature doesn't work perfectly and blah blah blah. And also you could always fast-forward a video. You always had that ability. But it might allow me to watch Joe Rogan stuff if it were on YouTube. I can't watch as much as I want. The Joe Rogan show is amazing. I can't get past the ads. I just, my life is too short. I don't have time for listening to a bunch of ads.

Anyway, here's something interesting. I saw a post from a user on X called Victorio who said, "In a few years people will not be able to function in society without a brain-computer interface." So that's sort of like the Neuralink chip in your head. And Elon Musk commented at some point having a Neuralink will be normal. And separately, Musk is predicting that in several years there could be tens of millions of humans who have a chip in their head, and that would be approaching normal. Do you think that's going to be normal? Do you think that in your lifetime all children will have a chip in their head? I think he's right. I think he's right. And the reason is that AI is too powerful to be separate from humans. In other words, humans are going to have to absorb the power of AI into themselves, and it might be the chip that allows them to do it. I don't know if there's any plan to do that specifically, but you could imagine all kinds of things that you'd want to do better and be competitive in an AI world. You just might need a chip. You might not even be able to hold a job unless you've got a good chip in you. Yeah, you could easily imagine in the future an employer saying, "We're only looking for people who have been chipped because when we give our new announcements and memos and stuff, we don't want to send it by email. We're just going to send it directly to the employees in their heads." Now, I don't know if that will ever be possible with a Neuralink, by the way. I don't know if it can. I don't even know if it's two-way in that way or it could be or what. But yeah, I think Musk is right. It is inevitable that humans will have computer chip interfaces in their head. I don't think there's any way around that.

Tucker Carlson has been, I don't know, do we say red-pilled anymore, about the chronic disease epidemic in America? Now, RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan have been, in my opinion, the primary message givers that the country is sick from our food, our pharma, and maybe other stuff we don't know what. But Tucker says, quote, on a video recently, "If you look at the rates of chronic illness in this country, it's destroying the country and it's an emergency. It's an emergency that I would say supersedes all other emergencies." Now, that's the key line. The key line is that that's the emergency that's bigger than all the other emergencies. That's like it came right out of my mouth or RFK Jr.'s mouth. I do believe that the food supply, Big Pharma, and maybe even the things that our media is doing to us are so bad it's just killing America to the point where I'm not sure we could even be a competitive country if we let ourselves be just destroyed by these forces. So the first step in doing anything about it would be acknowledging that it's a major, major problem. And I don't see Trump saying it and I don't see Kamala Harris saying it.

Why is it that Tucker and I and RFK Jr. and probably a lot of parents think this is the biggest problem in the country? And by the way, when I say the biggest problem in the country, I mean by a lot. I mean that whatever is number two isn't really even close to this because I don't really think we have much of a risk of a nuclear war, and I think climate change is sort of a long-term manageable situation. I don't think AI is going to kill us. Those are manageable risks. But we don't have really any effort whatsoever to stop the fact that our environment's killing us like crazy.

Now, I reposted Tucker's comments on X, but I wanted to add that you have to add mental illness to this because when you're talking about chronic illness, you aren't necessarily talking about the mental part. Now add the mental part. So take the number of people who have a chronic illness, one of the ones that we didn't get 100 years ago, that's just something about modern living, and then add to that the number of mental illness situations that are modern that also we didn't have 100 years ago. You get almost everybody. You get almost everybody. Everybody has at least a mental problem that you wouldn't have had before and at least one chronic illness that you never would have had before. So yeah, it's that bad.

But remember, I always tell you that we make this mistake of thinking that the brain and the body can be looked at as separate machines that just have some connection. And I say no, no, no. They're not separate machines. They're all just one thing. Your arms and your legs are what keep your brain healthy because if you get up and your arms and your legs take you into a forest, suddenly your brain says, "Ah, I'm a little relaxed now. I'm in a forest." So separating your body from your brain gets you all the wrong analysis.

So here's something to back that up. At Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan, they found that mental health and chronic diabetes are strongly linked. Now you say to me, "Well, that's obvious, Scott. If you get diabetes, obviously you're going to be less happy." To which I say yes, that makes sense. But it turns out that the correlation works both ways, they think. So the study shows that your mental illness might cause your diabetes, but also your diabetes might cause your mental illness. But if your mental illness causes your diabetes and your diabetes causes your mental illness, you're kind of in bad shape if you get either one of those two things. So that's just more evidence that your brain and your body have to be considered one system.

All right. I don't know if you watched this. It was kind of one of these wonderful moments in live television, or was it live? I think live is when, I guess, Fox News cut Trump's feed off. I think they were watching him do a speech, so they cut it off and they went to the Gutfeld! show. And I guess Greg Gutfeld said on air, you know, since they cut off President Trump, he said, "You've got my number. Give me a call." So as Gutfeld is doing his show, his phone rings and it was Trump. Trump actually called him. He's on air. Like, "Give me a call." And next thing you know, he's on the phone live with Trump. He puts on the speakerphone and Greg has to tell him, you know, "The audience is here. Don't say anything embarrassing." And then the funniest part, the funniest part is that Greg had to do a show and it wasn't really the most convenient thing to have a half-hour conversation on your cell phone holding it up to your microphone on your chest. So he needed to get Trump off the phone. The best part about it is, have you ever had the situation where you're done with a phone call? One of my exes had a way to tell you that the phone call is done. You know, you'd be talking about some stuff, you'd be going back and forth, normal conversation. Then you hear on the other side of the phone, "Anyway." And then I know the conversation's done. Anyway. So Greg was doing his version of how do you get the president off the phone. And I don't know, that was the best part, is trying to give the ex-president of the United States, maybe the future one, the bum's rush off the phone. You know, once you've done your polite stuff, it's time to move on. Anyway, that was fun. You should watch the video.

I just saw a clip from Peter Thiel talking to Joe Rogan. I guess that interview happened several days ago, but I hadn't seen this part. And apparently Peter Thiel has this theory that the reason that so many compromised people seem to be in power, you know, people that you would assume there would be some blackmail on, you just, if you're paying attention at all, you look at our leaders and you say we got a lot of leaders that, in my suspicious mind and based on what I've heard and what I see, they all look blackmailable. You've heard me say that, right? I've said that a number of times. That they just have this blackmailable vibe to them, like there's something going on besides their political stuff that somebody could blackmail them for. And Peter Thiel seems to think that it's a necessity to get ahead. That if you're not blackmailable, the people who really run the country can't trust you. They need to be able to control you, and so they prefer people who have blackmailable things that the public doesn't yet know. Now, that would explain everything.

Now, when I say it, it sounds a little crazy, right? When I say it seems to me like they're favoring blackmailable people, it sure looks that way. But I don't have any evidence of that. However, when Peter Thiel says it, suddenly I think, was I right? But he didn't show any evidence either. It's not like there's some scientific study. But he is way more connected, I think, than I am. In other words, he would be closer to whatever is behind the curtain. And for him to say this really got my attention. It's certainly short of something that is confirmed, but it looks like it. And when your observations are so consistent over time, it might be confirmation bias, but it's certainly helpful to hear at least one other smart person who's well connected say that's what it is.

Well, let's talk about the DNC and Kamala Harris. By the way, I'd like to make an announcement. If you stay till the end of my show today, I've got a special guest, Beyoncé. And after she's done, Taylor Swift will do a couple of tunes. I told her to keep it short. And then George W. Bush will be here as my special guest. That's all completely true. Stop it. Stop acting like I just made that up. This is the way you handle a big event. I learned that from the DNC. Yes, the DNC hinted that there would be a special guest so that people wouldn't turn off the TV before Kamala Harris was there. And then rumors started online it's Beyoncé, but of course it wasn't. It's Taylor Swift, but of course it wasn't. It's George W. Bush, which was just stupid because of course it wasn't. But it probably worked. It probably kept their numbers up. The number of lies that come out of the Democrat side is just breathtaking. It's just everything all the time. They only got one mode.

Anyway, remember ex-press secretary Jen Psaki? She said on MSNBC that Kamala Harris, well, she was complimenting her, and she said that Kamala Harris is likable. She's very likable. If you meet her in person, she's got this likable personal vibe. It's so likable that Jen Psaki said that she's as likable as Hillary Clinton with her magical charismatic quality. So I saw a post from Eric Abinanti. He said that that should be the Republican slogan. The Republicans should run on the idea that Kamala Harris is as likable as Hillary Clinton. You know, as funny as that comment is, the thing that makes it funny is that it would actually work. If tomorrow the Republicans erased every commercial that they have, just dumped them all, got rid of all their signs, all their slogans, everything on their website, and they just went with one sentence, that Kamala Harris is as likable as Hillary Clinton, and never said anything else about politics, he could win. I'm not recommending it. It's not going to happen. But yeah, in my mind I say, you know what, nothing else makes a difference at this point. Everybody has a general idea which direction the policies would be in both cases. You could just say she's as likable as Hillary Clinton. I don't know how many people would register with that, but it worked for me.

I saw the Maze account on X say that the DNC is like one big support group for people who are imagining that Donald Trump has hurt them. Now, that is the best summary. It looks like a support group for people who imagined that Trump had hurt them but also imagined that he will hurt them again after the first time that they imagined he hurt them. That really does capture everything. If you had heard that framing and said we've got a convention of people who have mental problems and their specific mental problems, they believe that this one person, Donald Trump, has hurt them and he's coming back and he might do it again, that really would explain 100% of everything you observe. That one frame wouldn't leave out a thing. They do act exactly like he hurt them and he might do it again. I don't know what they're thinking, but they sure look that way.

Well, so Kamala Harris gave her speech. They made that same mistake they made once with Biden where they gave her a dark and foreboding background and put her in a dark suit. So she looked professional. She looked presidential but evil at the same time. I'm sure you can do a background that doesn't make you look evil. It could be done. I think I've seen Trump do it, for example. You have some nice lighting, got a nice light background, you know, you got a bunch of flags. She did have flags, but then she had this weird dark look that just looks sinister. Big mistake on the design people, I would say. But the only thing I learned from that is that Harris can still read because she didn't talk about policies, which Trump was mocking her for. She talked about her childhood. Don't care too much. And then she told a bunch of obvious lies and things that would get Republicans killed and divide the country. That she said Trump will set free violent extremists. I don't think there's any chance of that, do you? He said he would pardon the January 6 people, but do you really think he's going to pardon anybody who was violent? I doubt it. I would think that that would be an exception to his pardons. She said that Trump was going to jail journalists and political opponents. Well, did he ever say that? Has Trump ever said that he would jail journalists and political opponents? I've never heard that. Have you?

Now, the question of whether he should, I think, is in the ballpark of nobody's above the law. I mean, they lawed him beyond any reasonable level, and if he decides to lawfare them back, I wouldn't be terribly in favor of it because I think it would tear the country apart. But he certainly has a right to do it provided that they have done real crimes and it's obvious, right? If they haven't done real crimes, well, no, I don't want to lawfare anybody for that's what they did to him. It's what they did to some of us, you know, in a way. So she threw up all the hoaxes. Looked pure evil to me. I got to say that whenever I see Trump demonized this way as someone who would jail journalists and political opponents and set free violent extremists, it feels personal. Meaning that she's really painting half of the country, or I don't know, 40% of the country, as supporting this person, which sort of would make you that person too if it were true. I mean, I regard these as simply not true. But if you want to know how I take it, I take it as you're attacking me. I don't know. Do Democrats get that feeling when Trump talks? It feel like Trump is attacking them as humans? Now, I know that they don't like particular policies, but does he say things that make you think he wants you to be dead? Because when I read this, I think, do you want me to be dead? Would you think you'd be better off if I support Trump and you think Trump's so dangerous? Wouldn't you be better off if I were dead? So to me that's really dangerous rhetoric, and it gets worse. We'll talk about Nancy Pelosi in a second anyway.

To me the weirdest attack is that Trump is in it for himself. And it's the weirdest attack because it's the easiest one to debunk. Now, Trump has never done that. And I always wonder about that. Here's the easiest debunk to "Trump's only in it for himself." And this is something that Trump is good at, is putting it in the form of a question. If you put it in the form of a question, it's way more powerful. Debunk. And here would be the question I would ask if I were Trump. How could I possibly get anything that's good for me unless I do the best job for the country? You know, you're all watching, right? You understand everybody's watching everything a president does. I only have one path to get something that's good for me and the Trump family. I've got to do the best possible job for the country in public and let you watch it. Anything short of that is a failure for me personally. If you think I'm this big old narcissist who's only in it for myself, that's fine with me because the only way I can get anything that's good for my reputation or ego or family or even future income of the Trump family, the only way anything good happens for me is if I absolutely nail it in giving the American people what they want and need and deserve. So if you think there's some way I could benefit without you knowing it and it would be somehow bad for you, did that happen in the first term?

Now, of course people will say, but Jared, you know, went off and got a deal in Saudi Arabia. But he's not part of the administration and he's also not Trump anyway. So I'm surprised he hasn't taken that one on straight on.

MSNBC's coverage was entertainingly ridiculous. So Rachel Maddow looked at the camera and with great sincerity and emotion told her viewers this quote: "You will remember where you were." She's talking about the Kamala Harris speech. It was so powerful that you will remember where you were. "The speech tonight from the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, really introducing herself to the nation, you're going to remember where you were on this night. This was an inflection point in history." That's your news network, MSNBC. It all looks like just mental health, just screaming for help.

Well, how good are Trump's policies? Well, Trump's policies are so good that his opponents decided not to talk about policies when competing against them. They literally have to make up policies that are not his to have something to talk about. What's the top thing in the country? Economics. Do they go after Trump on economics? Well, good luck. The country thinks that he's better on economics, so you don't do that. How about the border? Well, good luck. Country thinks that Trump would be better on the border. How about international relationships? Good luck. Country thinks that Trump would be better on that stuff. So what do you have left? You make up stuff. Look at this 2025 book, Project 2025. These are all the things that Trump's going to do. No, he isn't. He already disavowed that book. He had nothing to do with the creation of it. He's going to round up all the journalists who don't like him. No, he's not. Nobody would be in favor of that. There's no Republican who would be okay with arresting journalists because they didn't say good things about Trump. Nobody, literally nobody would be in favor of that. No, that's not going to happen. So if you have an entire convention that lasts days and nobody can mention a real policy of Trump, they only can make up something so they have something to talk about, that's a strong campaign. I would love to be in the campaign that they can't talk about what you're really doing or have really done. They can only talk about what you haven't done or won't do. That's it.

Now, let's be fair. Does Trump do the same thing and mischaracterize the Harris policies? He does it transparently. So Trump will say something like she was in favor of this. He'll acknowledge that her current view might be different, but it's a sign of her character. Now, that's not what we're seeing from Harris. We're seeing that he's going to do these things. Trump says, you know, it's something you know about the character and she would probably bring these sensibilities into the office. And that's actually a fair thing to say because if you say we know what somebody's past opinions are and it's not that far in the past, it's reasonable to assume that they would bring that same mindset into the job. What Harris does is say the opposite of what Trump plans to do. So Trump will say, "I am not for a national ban on abortion at the federal level." What they say is he's totally in favor of a national ban. Well, that's the opposite of what he said. He's not going to change his mind on that anyway.

I saw a user named Dandy on X. He said the only thing I can gather from this convention is that somehow they managed to sell the idea that they're running against the people in office who are also the speakers at the convention. That's true. If you want to know how deep the brainwashing is, the Democrats ran against themselves saying that the things that they've been doing hadn't been working, so you have to do it some other way. And then they brought on as speakers the people who are the very people who hadn't been getting it done. And I thought, wow, you can really brainwash the public to believe absolutely anything. So it does seem to me that Harris is running against herself. And that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. And even Trump said he joked about how she's had three and a half years to fix this stuff, so she's running against herself. She is.

Let's see how the political consultants, who we don't trust one bit because they're all in the bag for one candidate or another, let's see. Jonathan Chait, a well-known political writer, said, quote, "Kamala Harris gave the best acceptance speech I've ever seen." Well, that does raise the question of how many he's ever seen. Maybe it's the first one. But did anybody watch her speech and say that's the best speech I ever seen? She never even talked about policies, and all she did was lie in really easily checkable ways. And that was the best acceptance speech I've ever seen?

Well, there's this weird little event that happened at the DNC that's getting a lot of play on social media, and I don't know how to analyze this, but I'll tell you what people are saying. So there's a video of the Walz family walking onto stage to accept the applause or whatever, and there are four of them holding hands. So there's two children and the parents. And there's a point where Walz seems to take his son's hand and sort of yank him almost angrily. Now, it's a very hard-to-spot thing. If you were watching it live, you probably wouldn't have noticed. But on video you can see it a little more dramatically. So maybe it looked completely different live, but it's hard to explain because when you see it you say why did he do that? Because it didn't look like the son was not walking in the right direction. I mean, they were holding hands, but he gave him like the yank, almost like a little, it almost looked angry. But there was nothing to be angry about that we could see.

Now, it needs to be said that his son, I don't know what the right words are, about special needs, would that be the right phrase? So son has some mental health problems, I guess. And when you add that to the fact that it looked like his father angrily gave him a yank in his hand, I'm not sure that that's what happened, by the way. So I think I'm going to be, I'll talk about it as a story, but I think I'm going to maybe surprise you a little bit and I'm going to back the parent on this. So there's plenty of stuff for not liking Tim Walz, like politically. If you don't like his politics, there's plenty to work with. So you don't need to dig too deep to find reasons not to support him as a future vice president. But since we can't know their relationship, we can't know, we can't read his mind, I will tell you that the son did not react in any way that looked like it was a problem. He didn't react to it at all. So I feel like maybe it's a little creepy to insert ourselves into that relationship. Whatever Tim has done to raise two kids, that's not going to be my point of criticism. We don't know his situation. We don't know the son's thinking. The son is clearly very much in favor of his father. I mean, he was crying with tears as his father was accepting the nomination. So the kid himself looks like a really sweet kid, and I don't think that he was any the worse for whatever happened. And it could be that it may have been as simple as dad was getting his attention for something, you know, just make sure he kept him in the game. So it might be the video makes it look worse than it is. I'll give you two opinions that seem like they're contradictory but maybe not. When you see it on video, it's disturbing. So don't get me wrong, I found it disturbing. But there's too much we don't know. And so to complete the story in our heads, that's a little too far for me. We just don't know what that was about. But it raises a flag. If you said it raises a little flag, I'd agree with you on that. But I won't go so far as to say that therefore he's beating his children or something like that. No evidence of that.

All right. MSNBC's Joy Reid was talking about the quote "men of the Democratic Party," and she said they were portraying something that she called 21st-century masculinity. And some of the other MSNBC hosts were talking about it. And the idea is that they're defining what a real man is. So a real man is not, you know, Dana White with his muscles and his success and his confidence and his swagger. Who needs that, right? They're saying that a real man is somebody who can support a woman to be their leader. So a real man is somebody who takes a secondary position to a strong woman in this case. And all of those supportive, caring, empathetic things that women do, a real man is going to be strong but also have these other characteristics. Here's my take on that. It ain't a man if you have to explain it. Should I go on or is that enough? If you have to explain it, it's not a man. The most obvious statement of what a man is is you can tell when you look at it. If a woman has to explain to you that that's a real man, I'm sorry, that process doesn't work. How about when I see Trump take a bullet and get back up and yell? I say to myself, that's a man. Did anybody need to explain that to me? Nobody needed to explain it. No, that was right there. Now, I'm not saying that everything that the quote real men do is acceptable and legal and appropriate. Not at all. But I never wonder who the real men are. If you need to explain it to me and make an intellectual argument for who the real men are, well, that's sort of a tell.

Anyway, here's what Nancy Pelosi said. I'm roughly paraphrasing her. She said that Trump is a threat to democracy, threat to freedom, and she likened it to a Thomas Paine and Lincoln situation. And I said to myself, Thomas Paine? Wasn't he the guy who said we need to pick up arms against our oppressors? In fact, you know, during the Revolutionary War. Lincoln? Interesting choice. Wasn't Lincoln the president who was shot because he wasn't popular everywhere for freeing the slaves? Is Nancy Pelosi giving the public permission to kill this guy? That's what it looks like to me. To me this looks like how you activate somebody like Thomas Crooks, somebody who's maybe not the greatest at understanding the world but can be weaponized by being told that if they would just do this one horrible thing, you know, shoot Lincoln at the Ford Theater, you'll be maybe hailed as a hero. To me this is encouraging violence at a level where I ask myself, where is the guideline on that? At what point is that literally just invoking violence? I believe you can get kicked off of X if you encourage violence. Am I wrong? That would be one of the things that free speech has a somewhat acceptable limit to it. If you encourage violence, you get kicked off the platform, which is why I tell you as often as possible I'm against violence in every context. Sometimes you can observe it and sometimes you just know that it was inevitable, but you can't encourage it. My interpretation of her comments are that she walked right up to the line of encouraging the worst kind of violence against a political leader. Well, I guess they're all bad, but one kind affects the whole country. So if I had to judge Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris on their ethics, it would be the lowest grade. There isn't a grade below this unless you're actually murdering people yourself. But getting right up to this line and knowing you're doing it, this is obviously very intentional. That's the most disrespectful, disgusting, unethical, immoral thing you'll ever see.

Now, let's check ourselves. Does Trump do this? If Trump does it too, then I'm going to say to myself, oh. Now, Trump does talk about illegal immigrants in a way that makes you say, is this going to cause people to do violence against illegal immigrants? Has it yet? I'm not familiar with any story in which an American citizen did some violence to an immigrant because it was an immigrant or because Trump said something. I've never seen it. So it does seem that what Trump does is talk about something we can all observe. We can observe the people are coming across the border. We can observe that some number of them murder. So when he talks about that, is that encouraging violence or is it encouraging us to defend ourselves from violence? So I think Trump is still in the clearly acceptable range of discussion. I don't think Pelosi is, and I don't think Kamala Harris is when they talk about he's stealing your freedom and stuff and being an insurrectionist. Some of it is just normal political talk. If a candidate says, oh, they're taking away your freedom, that alone isn't going to cause violence because it just sounds like political talk. But if you pair that with, well, he did try to take over the country once and he's this unstable crazy narcissist, he's a psychopath, doesn't care about anything but himself, if you start adding it all together, he sounds like somebody who's literally really dangerous in the real world, which he's not as far as I can tell. So that's that.

All right. RFK Jr. I believe I heard that Trump has a secret guest today at his rally. And we heard that RFK Jr. has pulled out of Arizona from the presidential race, which you wouldn't do if you were planning to stay in. So the rumors seem to be pretty strong and consistent, and we don't see any denials when there's plenty of time to deny. For example, Nicole Shanahan has not made a denial, and it looks like something's going to happen. Now, I'm going to stop short of saying that the rumors are true. So the rumors are that RFK Jr. is going to endorse Trump, and in return would get some role in the government. I think it's going to be less than that. I'm not saying those things won't happen, but I think by today's rally it might not be as strong as that. It might be a little circumspect. So it could be, for example, I'm just speculating now, it could be that RFK Jr. doesn't want to do an unambiguous, complete endorsement of Trump because that might be too far. I mean, the reason he was running against Trump and against Biden at the time was because he thought the two candidates didn't have the goods. If he had from the very beginning thought everything Trump was doing was the good stuff, he wouldn't have run.

So here's what would make me feel like honesty had happened. Because I'll tell you the one thing that I most appreciate about Kennedy and Shanahan: I don't think they lied about the other team. Can you give me any example? Have either of them at any time said something about the other candidates that you said, well, that's just a lie, that's not true, you just made up something so you can complain about it? I don't think I saw it once. Did any of you see that? Did any of you see anybody in the Kennedy-Shanahan campaign say anything that was an insult to any American or something that was a clear political lie? Now, you have seen things where people interviewed Kennedy and accused him of lying in the past about vaccinations and stuff, and then he gives his explanation and you can check for yourself. But I haven't seen him get caught in an actual lie. I've seen things interpreted that he said that he had to clarify, etc. But it's very unusual to have somebody, well, two candidates that are that completely honest about what they want to do and what the other people want to do.

So here's where RFK Jr. could find an honest middle ground. It's not going to look honest if it's an unambiguous endorsement of Trump. I wouldn't buy it, honestly. I wouldn't buy it. It would look like that looks like a guy who wants a job or something. I mean, it just wouldn't sell. Here's what I think he can say: "President Trump and I do not agree on everything, but the Democratic Party has turned into a monstrosity, and the president's approach to border control and some other issues which I consider the important ones are far stronger than the other campaign. And the Democrats have just completely fallen apart, and you just can't support that anymore." Now, that would be completely honest. We don't agree on every policy, but there are some big, big things in which Trump gets it right and the other side just can't be supported with what they're doing. It's just too dishonest, etc.

Now, I don't think that anything will happen in terms of a promise of a role in the administration unless it's something general like, you know, "I hope you could work in my administration. Well, you know, maybe we can find a way to be productive." You know, so it's going to be some generalities about that. But I hope Kennedy is completely transparent about this not being an embrace of all things MAGA. And then I think that he's a hero. So he's already a hero in my mind. You know, the important place, all the important things happen in my mind, not in the real world, but in my mind. Kennedy and Shanahan are heroes because they did make this chronic illness medical situation a top conversation. And if endorsing Trump can make it an even higher priority, that's hero stuff. That's hero stuff. That's even better than president, in my opinion. If he could pull that off, it would be one of the greatest feats in American history, you know, where you're moving stuff in the right direction. And he got there without lying. Amazing, really.

So what else has happened? Trump says he's not, he didn't want any intelligence briefings which he could get as a candidate if he wanted, because he's worried that he would get a briefing about some secret stuff and then the secret stuff briefing people would leak it and then everybody would think that Trump leaked it because they'd blame him. So they tell him something, they'd leak it, and then they blame him for being the leak. So Trump says that's what he's worried about. Is that a realistic worry that any briefings would be a setup to say that he leaked it? I think so. I think that is an actual legitimate worry. Now, I don't know if that's the reason he doesn't get them. He might think that they're fake, for example. The intelligence people, some of them have said out loud that they don't think they can trust him with the real intelligence and that they would give him like intelligence light, you know, the stuff without the good stuff. If he knew that the only intelligence that they were going to give him was the obvious stuff and that they weren't going to tell him anything good unless it was a setup, yeah, there was no reason to be briefed. You know, every time Trump shows you a new version of reality, you say to yourself, why didn't I see that on my own? Here's the version of reality. Remember, you used to think that watching the news was useful. It's not. It's all lies. Remember when you thought science was honest and if the scientists agreed that pretty much guaranteed it was true? Nope. No scientist agreeing doesn't mean anything. What about, you know, so basically the news is fake, the data is fake, the science is fake. And now Trump is telling you that intelligence briefings are fake. If I'd heard this 15 years ago, I would say that's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. But now I think, oh, obviously they're fake because they don't want to tell him the good stuff. So of course they're not going to. They said it. I mean, you know, some of the top intelligence people have said it out loud. We'd be afraid to give him the good stuff. I think Brennan said that. So yes, Trump would get nothing he didn't already know because they would leave out the good stuff and it would just be a trap for them to say that he's a leaker. So he's completely right. Not so much that the leak part is the important part, but that the briefings would have no value. What's he going to do with that? Is he going to change his policies because he heard a secret thing? Probably not. Yeah, what's the point of it?

So every time you think something is important and then you find out, I thought my whole life this was important, and then you find out it's not, it's just a mind spinner. My mind is still spinning about the fact that it's true that national security briefings for the guy who's likely to be the next president wouldn't have any value. Like, that's hard for me to get my head around. But I do believe that in this specific case, I believe it.

Meanwhile, the Georgia state election board, they passed this new measure for the elections that the number of voters casting ballots must match the number of ballots counted. What is the story? Is the story that the new procedure is that the number of voters has to equal the number of votes, or is the story that it wasn't true before? Apparently the number of voters didn't need to match the number of votes. How about that? So there's your most secure election in American history, where the number of voters didn't need to match the number of votes until now.

Now, here's my second question. Was this only an issue in Georgia? Was Georgia the only place where the number of voters didn't have to match the number of votes? Let me tell you as clearly as possible. If the filter you put on our election system in terms of how fair and unrigged they are, if the filter you put on it was the experts told me it was completely secure, oh, you're so lost. You're so lost. How about take it up a level? All the experts agreed that the elections are too hard to rig. It's very fair. That doesn't mean anything. All the experts agreed. All the experts didn't check the machines. All the experts can't even describe the system in every state. How would the experts know if somebody hacked into it and was so good at it they could get away with it? What expert would know that? Here's the filter you should put on it. Not the experts said it's true. Put the Dilbert filter on it. All right, so you know what the Dilbert comic is. It's about mass incompetence being normal, not the exception. So that's the Dilbert filter. Mass incompetence is universal and normal. It's just that big companies are good at hiding it from their customers because the customer might just see the product. So if you apply that to the Secret Service guarding the president, suddenly everything makes sense. Now, there is a question as to whether they were extra incompetent intentionally. That's still an open question. But incompetence can explain just about everything you see in the news.

And when I look at the elections, you've got 50-plus different entities handling elections. You've got hundreds of people, maybe thousands involved in every state. They don't do the job every day as paid employees or a lot of volunteers. So they have to be retrained every time. The process for the election itself changes every year. For example, this new Georgia procedure is new, so you'd have to train people on that. And I could go on and on about the complexity and the number of people involved. But when you have this level of complexity, you have that number of people involved, they're not the permanent employees, they just come in as needed for an election, most of them. Every part of that screams that there isn't the slightest chance that we even know what's going on in the election. It's the same filter I put on climate change. Yep, there are all these thermometers around the world and we've got all these crack employees in different parts of the world checking those thermometers. No, there's no situation in human history in which you could make that work. That being a big, complicated thing where you've got different technology in different places and the environment's changing and the heat islands are moving and they're all different countries and different languages and they're checking these thermometers. All about half the time they don't even check. Do you think every single time in some other country the person goes through the junk and then writes down correctly the numbers from the machine, the thermometer? Or sometimes do they say, ah, it's probably the same as last year, I'll just bump it up 0.1. And then you get paid the same whether you looked at it or just said you looked at it. Now, maybe there's some logs where they would get caught if they did that, but who checks the logs? So my point is, whenever you see any system that's vast and has lots of people involved, it's always a mess.

With those of you who have experience in large organizations of any kind, can you confirm this for maybe the other people who don't have this experience? If you've worked in any big entity, would you confirm that they're all just a disaster? If you know what's happening behind the curtain, they're all a disaster. It's just that over time some of these disasters can produce an iPhone and then you say, wow, industry is awesome.

All right. So Kamala Harris is trying to be pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian, but apparently she can pull that off because her customers don't care about anything except not having Trump in office. Yeah, I think we should stop pretending that anybody's influenced by the policies except a handful of independents. But people who would go to the DNC or even watch the DNC, they don't care what the policies are. They just want less Trump. That's all they need. So yeah, Harris is pulling off the I'm for both sides. Okay.

So who's going to get the boost from the DNC? So you'd suspect the Democrats would get a little boost, but it's working the other way. The polls might show a boost because I think most of the polls are rigged at this point with oversampling of Democrats. But the betting markets turned negative on her. So when she should have been getting a boost, the people who had actual money to put on it, they said, I think we trust her a little bit less by the end of this. So that's a pretty expensive event to put on to reduce your credibility anyway.

Now, the Daily Wire says the betting sites have moved in Trump's direction. They think part of it could be that revision of the jobs thing, 88,000 jobs revised, which means that the Bidenomics wasn't working nearly as well as they've been claiming. And now we know. And the other part might be the Kennedy alleged potential endorsement. So the betting markets might be ahead of reality there.

All right. There's an article on X post, as in from Saul Sadka. The Democrats rarely have Republicans as romantic partners and vice versa. Did you know that having a mixed marriage where you've got a Democrat and a Republican who are married, only 8% of marriages, they disagree on politics? Now, I would say that makes sense, especially in our current situation. But I would love to know if the 8% of the people, I wonder if they have better results of staying married or worse. You know, if the 8% who do get married and one's a Democrat, one's a Republican, if they can stay married longer, maybe we learn something. But if they get divorced much faster, maybe we've learned something else. I'd love to know that. That'd be the stat I'd like to see. But we are not surprised that the country is so divided that we can't reproduce. That's right. The country is so divided that we've lost the ability to reproduce at replacement level. And I think this is a big part of it. You know, it used to be that if somebody was mildly leaning in the other direction on politics, you wouldn't even care that much. It just wouldn't even be part of your, if they didn't watch TV and go to events, they just sort of mildly had an opinion, maybe even would vote differently than you. That's not a big deal. But today everybody's an activist. Everybody either has to love Trump or hate him. And he's the devil. You can't really have that in your house. You can't have that kind of disagreement in your house.

All right. Here's an update on Hamas and Gaza. And this is from Saul Sadka on the X platform. Seems to be pretty tapped into what's going on over there. So here are the claims from Saul. And I know he's smart. I don't know too much about him, but he follows me on X, so obviously he's pretty smart just like the rest of you. Anyway, he says that in a longer post that I recommend you read because it's really interesting, he says the Hamas are contained and almost totally defeated. So there's as much containment as there is defeat, meaning that allegedly 17,000 of the Hamas enemies were killed already at the cost of 330 Israeli soldiers who died. And they've got 5,000 prisoners of war and they're taking out many more as they keep fighting. But apparently now Israel has succeeded in creating what is called strategic corridors. So it looks like they're putting Gaza into sort of a grid, not a symmetrical grid where it's boxes or anything like that, but they're basically breaking Gaza into parts where if you wanted to get from one of those parts to the other, you'd have to go across some kind of strategic corridor and that would be very dangerous because the IDF would control it. Now, so that gives them the ability to stop weapons and resupply of at least weapons. And it also isolates, in one part of Gaza they think even Sinwar's area, the Hamas. So they think whatever's left of the leadership is in one little section that's now completely surrounded and they can't resupply and they can't get out. So that would suggest that Israel's plan of what they call total victory might be slow but is now guaranteed. Meaning that the only thing that could stop them from having 100% control over every body and hole in Gaza is that they're stopped before they get there. But nothing would stop them unless the external situation stopped them. So they now have complete control. It's a whole different situation. And by the way, this is what Israel said on day one, that the understanding of Gaza would be different. You know, it's not going to be the same place. So the whole conversation about two-state solution, I don't see that happening. But it's not up to me, so I'm not giving you an opinion and I'm not giving you a preference. I'm just observing like the rest of you. And I don't see any chance that there would be a two-state solution. To me that just sounds like something that people have to say so that they don't look like they're monsters. It's just something you say. I used to think it was real, by the way. Actually at one point I was in favor of it. But then I realized it doesn't matter what I'm in favor of. At some point I realized I have nothing to do with that. I'm just watching. So you can predict, but what you're in favor of doesn't make any difference.

All right, that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I have. I'm going to say bye to the YouTube and Rumble folks. I'm going to talk to privately the people on Locals if I can remember to hit the correct button this time. And as everybody confirmed that we didn't stream on X, maybe we did. Did anybody see it on X anyway?

let's see oh we got problems don't we it looks like we successfully logged into Rumble and locals and it looks like neither You.

Tube nor X have gone live what would that be do you think so do you think You.

Tube is cutting off Rumble well you're all here and I'm here so interesting so it's just going to be Rumble and uh Rumble in locals today do you think I should try restarting it what do you think probably not if I if I get out and get back in I think all it's going to do is start where it is all right well we're just going to call that a uh technical problem it's not going to slow us down a bit but I just got demonetized so we'll see if the show is any better once I'm demonetized oh look we've got some You.

Tube people coming in now oh that's interesting so You.

Tube's online it looks like only X is failing I wonder why don't know good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of your entire life if you'd like this to go up to a level that you can't even understand with your tiny shiny human brain well all you need is a cup or muger glass a tankered shell s Dy a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind to fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine it day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and wow it happens now go so good so good well here's some science updates and we'll talk about the DNC and Harris and RFK Jr and UFOs and anything else you want to talk about but just so you know all the cool things that are coming according to wired uh mRNA technology could be used to make your damaged liver good again without a transplant how about that there's actually a technology that can heal a mouse's liver not completely apparently but it makes a big difference so we might be on the uh the verge of giving you new organs with a shot can you imagine that oh my organs are failing that's okay come here I'll give you a shot and then all your organs start rebuilding themselves that's a real thing that that might actually be coming Well Medical Express publication says that there's some indication that THC that would be the active ingredient ingredient in marijuana reverses brain aging and enhances cognition in mice now you know what I'm going to say don't you you know what I'm going to say now I don't recommend marijuana for anybody because it's a medical product in my opinion I don't think marijuana has the recreational value that people use it for but medically medically has some real uses and uh they could have saved a little money because I will tell you that my own experience is that well I'm just going to say it I'll say it as directly as I can there isn't a chance in hell I would be meeting five deadlines a day creating new content without a little help my aging brain would not be able to sit down every single day and write seven new jokes I'm telling you my own experien is that it's a brain enhancer and to me it's obvious now I don't recommend it you should only talk to a doctor and don't drive a car and if you're under 18 it'd be stupid to do weed it would just ruin your life so I don't recommend it but on this one limited claim that uh they're talking about low doses by the way oh this is important they tested low doses now my experience is that if you're a daily let's say medical user you get used to it and then what would be a high dose for somebody else is kind of a low dose for you so it could be that I've been low dosing for a while anyway there's a trailer for a movie you know the advertisement for a movie called the trailer movie is a megalopolis but they had to remove the trailer because apparently included some quotes some praising quotes from critics that those critics never said how do you think they ended up with a bunch of quotes from critics about their movie that they never said well I don't know if there's um I don't know if there's a specific explanation of how went wrong but here's my guess hey chat GPT can you tell me what the critics say about the movie well so and so says it's the greatest movie and it will change your life okay and they write that down and they make they make the trailer with those quotes only to find out later that chat GPT literally made it up now the story doesn't say that's what happened but isn't it obvious if if you had to place a bet if you've used AI by the way you'll know this it does make stuff up I ask AI about myself just because that's the easiest thing to check it makes stuff up things I've never heard of awards I've never won um I mean it's just completely fantasizes about people so that's probably what happened but I have a standard for judging things like this and most other things I don't believe in judging people by their mistakes because if you did that You' just hate everybody all the time I mean humans are just making mistakes all over the place there's nobody you know who hasn't made mistakes that you think they shouldn't have so instead of judging people by their mistakes because nobody makes a mistake intentionally judge them by what they do when they get caught or when trouble happens and how do they respond well well here's how they responded I guess Lion's gate is the entity that put it out they said uh quote we offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Copa and American zoto for their for this inexcusable error in our vetting process um we screwed up we are sorry almost perfect almost perfect I will accept it as completely um sincere sounding and they didn't look to blame anybody did they it would have been really easy to blame somebody nope lion gate said our our mistake we apologize but there's one thing missing one thing missing Steve Jobs knew how to do this the one thing missing is what are you going to do about it what are you going to do so you don't do it again so they said it was a mistake in the Ving process but just this little bit of improvement would have taken them to A+ it's already it's already an A minus is very acceptable I I think they did a good job with it but if they just said we're we're going to redo our vetting process maybe even telling us what went wrong you know we we relied on a internet search we're going to have to make sure that you know we verify things something like that so always you should you got to take full responsibility but then you got to say what you're going to do to not make that same mistake again that's perfect if you get that all right um You.

Tube apparently has some new feature that I'm also assuming is Aid driven something they wouldn't have been able to do before I think which is they're going to allow you premium users the people who pay to be on You.

Tube allow them to skip sponsored segments in You.

Tube videos now what would be a sponsored segment in a You.

Tube video what it would be like me giving a commercial for a product which I would never do because people would skip it now would You.

Tube be able to pick out that this is not a sponsored product but rather my own product and would would the AI make a distinction so when I say I've got a new book and the main reason I do social media so people could know if I have a new product if I tell people about my new product are they going to introduce a button so you can skip it I don't know is the AI smart enough to know that this is my product and that's very different than a sponsored advertisement I don't know we shall see but the effect of that would be to actually destroy uh a huge bunch of people who their entire money comes from doing sponsored commercials on Youtube I won't destroy it right away because people won't know the buttons there and maybe the feature doesn't work perfectly and blah blah blah and also you could always fast forward a video you you always had that ability but uh it might allow me to watch uh Joe Rogan stuff if it were on You.

Tube I I can't watch as much as Joe Rogan show is amazing I can't get past the ads I just my life is too short I don't have time for listening to a bunch of ads anyway here's something interesting um I saw a post from a user on X called Victorio who said in a few years people will not be able to function in society without a brain computer interface so that's sort of like the neuralink chip in your head um and Elon Musk commented at some point having a neuralink will be normal and that uh and and separately musk is predicting that uh in several years there could be tens of millions of humans who have a chip in their head and that would be approaching normal do you think that's going to be normal do you think that in your lifetime um you know all children will have a chip in their head I think he's right I think he's right and the reason is that AI is too powerful to be separate from humans in other words humans are going to have to absorb ABB the power of AI into themselves and it might be the chip that allows them to do it I don't I don't know if there's any plan to you know do that specifically but you could imagine all kinds of things that you'd want to do better and be competitive in an AI world you just might need a chip you you might not even be able to hold a job unless you've got a good chip in you yeah you could easily imagin in the future an employer saying uh we're only looking for people who have been chipped because when we you know give our new announcements and memos and stuff we don't want to send it by email uh we're just going to send it directly to the employees in their heads now I don't know if that will ever be possible with a neurl link by the way I don't know if it can I don't even know if it's two-way in that way or it could be or what but uh yeah you I I think musk is right it is inevitable that humans will have computer chip interfaces in their head I don't think there's any way around that Tucker Carlson has been uh uh I don't know do we say red pilled anymore about the chronic disease epidemic in America now RFK Jr and Nicole shanan have been in my opinion the primary message givers that the country is sick from our food our Pharma and maybe other stuff we don't know what but um Tucker says quote on a video recently if you look at the rates of chronic illness in this country it's destroying the country and it's an emergency it's an emergency that I would say supersedes all other emergencies now that's the key line the key line is that that's the emergency that's bigger than all the other emergencies that's that's like it came right out of my mouth or RFK Junior's mouth I do believe that the food supply the big farmer and maybe even the things that our our media is doing to us are so bad it's just killing America to the point where I'm not sure we could even be a competitive country if we let ourselves be just destroyed by these forces so the first step in doing anything about it would be acknowledging that it's a major major problem and I don't see I don't see Trump saying it and I don't see K haris saying it why is it that Tucker and I and RFK Jr and probably a lot of parents think this is the biggest problem in the country and by the way when I say the biggest problem in the country I mean by a lot I I mean that whatever is number two isn't really even close to this because I don't really think we have much of a risk of a nuclear war and I think climate change is sort of long-term manageable situation um I don't I don't think AI is going to kill us you know we have those are manageable risks but we don't have really any effort whatsoever to stop the fact that our environment's killing us like crazy now I I reposted uh youo Tucker's comments on X but I I wanted to add that you have to add mental illness to this because when when you're talking about chronic illness you aren't necessarily talking about the mental part now ADD the mental part so take the number of people who have a chronic illness one of the ones that we didn't get 100 years ago that's just something about modern living and then add to that the number of mental illness situations are that's modern that also we didn't have 100 years ago you get almost everybody you get almost everybody everybody has at least a mental problem that you wouldn't have had before and at least one chronic illness that you would never would have had before so yeah it's that bad but remember I always tell you that we make this mistake of thinking that the brain and the body can be looked at as separate machines that just have some connection and I say no no no they're not separate machines they're all just one thing your arms and your legs are what keep your your your brain healthy because if you get up and your arms and your legs take you into a forest suddenly your brain says Ah I'm a little relaxed now I'm in a forest so separating your body from your brain gets you all the wrong analysis so here's something to back that up at uh Michigan medicine the University of Michigan they found that uh mental health and chronic diabetes are strongly linked now you say to my you say well that's obvious Scott if if you get chronic you know if you get diabetes obviously you're going to be less happy to which I say yes that makes sense but it turns out that the correlation works both ways they think so the study shows that your mental illness might cause your diabetes but also your diabetes might cause your mental illness but if your mental illness causes your diabetes and your diabetes causes your mental illness you're kind of in bad shape if you get either one of those two things so that's just more evidence that your brain and your body have to be considered one one system all right um I don't know if you watched this it was kind of one of these wonderful moments in live television or was it live I think live is when uh I guess Fox News cut the must have cut Trump's feed off I think there were watching him uh do a speech so they cut it off and they went to the uh the Gutfeld J Gutfeld exclamation mark and I guess um Greg Gutfeld said on air you know since they cut off president Trump he said you've got my number give me a call so as guffi is doing his show his phone rings and it was Trump trump actually called him you he's on he's on air he like youo give me a call and next thing you know he's on the phone live to Trump he puts on the speaker phone and uh and Greg has to tell him you know the audience is here don't say anything don't don't say anything embarrassing and uh and then the funniest part the funniest part is that Greg had to do a show and and it wasn't really the most convenient thing to have a you know half hour conversation on your cell phone holding it up to your microphone on your chest so he needed to get he needed to get Trump off the phone the best part about it is have you ever had the situation where you're done with a phone call one of my exes had had a way to tell you that the phone call is done you know you'd be talking about some stuff you'd be going back and forth normal conversation then you hear on the other side of the phone anyway and then I know the conversation's done anyway so Greg was doing his his version of how do you get the president off the phone and I don't know that was the best part is trying is trying to give the ex-president of the United States maybe the future one you know the the bums rush off the phone you know once you've done your poite stuff it's time to move on anyway that was fun you should watch the video that um I just saw a h clip from uh Peter teal talking to um Joe Rogan I guess that interview happened several days ago but I hadn't seen this part and apparently Peter teal has this Theory that uh the reason that so many compromised people seem to be in power you know people that you would assume there would be some blackmail on you you just if you're if you're paying attention at all you look at our leaders and you say we got a lot of leaders that in my Suspicious Mind and based on what I've heard and what I see they all look black mailable you you've heard me say that right I've said that a number of times that they just have this black mailable vibe to them like there's something going on besides their political stuff that somebody could blackmail them for and Peter teal seems to think that it's a necessity to get ahead that if you're not blackmail the people who really run the country can't trust you they need to be able to control you and so they prefer people who have black mailable things that the public doesn't yet know now that would explain everything now when I say it it sounds a little crazy right when I say it seems to me like they're favoring black mailable people it sure looks that way but I don't have any evidence of that however when Peter teal says it um suddenly I think was I right but he didn't show any evidence either it's not like there's some scientific study but he is way more connected I think than I am in other words he would would be closer to the you know whatever is behind the curtain and for him to say this really got my attention it's certainly short of something that is confirmed but it looks like it and when you're your observations are so consistent over time it might be confirmation bias but it's certainly helpful to hear at least one other smart person who's well connected to say that's what it is well let's talk about that um DNC and KL Harris talked uh by the way um i' like to make an announcement if you stay till the end of my show today I've got a special guest uh Beyonce and after she's done Taylor Swift will'll do a couple of tunes I told her to keep it short and then George W Bush George W bush will be here as my special guest that's all completely true stop it stop acting like I just made that up this is the way you handle a big event I learned that from the DNC yes the DNC hinted that there would be a special guest so that people wouldn't turn off the TV before KL Harris was there and then rumors started online it's Beyonce but of course it wasn't it's Taylor Swift but of course it wasn't it's George W bush which was just stupid because of course it wasn't but it probably worked it probably kept their numbers eye the the number of lies that come out of the the Democrat side is just it's just breathtaking it's just everything all the time they they only got one mode anyway uh remember ex press secretary Jen saki she said on MSNBC that KL Harris well she was complimenting her and she said that K Harris is likable she's very likable if you meet her in person she's got this likable personal Vibe it's so likable that uh Jens saki said that uh she's as likable as Hillary Clinton with her magical charismatic quality so I saw a post from Eric abinanti he said that that should be the Republican slogan the Republicans should run on the idea that kamla Harris is as likable as Hillary Clinton you know a as funny as that comment is the thing that makes it funny is that it would actually work if if tomorrow the uh you know the Republicans erased every commercial that they have just just dumped them all got rid of all their signs all their slogans everything on their website and they just went with one sentence that K Harris is as like a as Hillary Clinton and never said anything else about politics he could win I'm not recommending it it's not going to happen but yeah in in my mind I say you know what nothing else makes a difference at this point everybody has a general idea what which direction the policies would be in both both cases you could just say she's a likable as Hillary Clinton I don't know how many people would register with that but it worked for me I saw the maze account on X say that the DNC is like one big support group for people who are imagining that Donald Trump has hurt them now that is the best summary it looks like a support group for people who imagined that Trump had hurt them but also imagined that he will hurt them again after the first time that they imagined he hurt him that really does capture everything if if you had heard that Framing and said we've got a Convention of people who uh have mental problems and their specific mental problems they believe that this one person Donald Trump has hurt them and he's coming back and he might do it again that really would explain 100% of Everything You observe that one frame wouldn't leave out a thing they do act exactly like he hurt them and they might do it again I don't know what they they're thinking but but they sure look that way well so K Harris gave her speech uh they made that same mistake they made once with uh Biden where they gave her a dark and for boting background and put her in a dark suit so she looked she looked uh professional she looked presidential but evil at the same time I'm sure you can do a background that doesn't make you look evil it could be done I I think I've seen Trump do it for example you have some nice lighting got a nice light background you know you got a bunch of flags she did have Flags but then she had this weird dark dark look that just looks Sinister big mistake on the design people I would say um but the only thing I learned from that is that Harris can still read because she didn't talk about policies which Trump was mocking her for she talked about her childhood don't care too much and then she told a bunch of obvious lies and things that would get uh Republicans killed and divide the country that uh she said Trump will set free violent extremists I don't think there's any chance of that do you he said he would pardon the January 6 people but do you really think he's going to Pardon anybody who was violent I doubt it I I I would think that that would be an exception to his pardons um she said that Trump was going to jail journalists and political opponents well did he ever say that has Trump ever said that he would jail journalists and political opponents I've never heard that have you now the question of whether he should I think is uh in the ballpark of nobody's Above the Law I mean they lawed him Beyond any reasonable level and if he decides to laware them back I wouldn't be terribly in favor of it because I think it would you know tear the country apart but he certainly has a right to do it provided that they have done real crimes and it's obvious right if they haven't done real crimes well no I don't want to laware anybody for that's what they did to him it's what they did to some of us you know in a way so she threw up all the all the hoaxes look pure evil to me um I got to say that whenever I see Trump demonized this way as someone who would jail journalists and political opponents and set free violent extremists it it feels personal meaning that she's really painting half of the country or I don't know 40% uh of the country as supporting this person which sort of would make you that person too if it were true I mean I regard these as simply not true but if you want to know how I take it I take it as you're attacking me I don't know do do Democrats get that feeling when Trump talks it feel like Trump is attacking them as as humans now I know that they don't like you know particular policies but does he say things that make you think he wants you to be dead because when I read this I think do you want me to be dead would you think you'd be better off if I support Trump and you think Trump's so dangerous wouldn't you be better off if I were dead so I mean to me that's really dangerous rhetoric and it gets worse we'll talk about Nancy py in a second anyway to me the weirdest attack is that Trump is in it for himself and it's the weirdest attack because it's the easiest one to debunk now Trump has never done that and I always wonder about that here here's the easiest debunk to Trump's only in it for himself and this is something that Trump is good at is putting it in the form of a question if you put it in the form of a question it's way more powerful debunk and here would be the question I would ask if I were Trump how could I possibly get anything that's good for me unless I do the best job for the country you know you're all watching right you understand everybody's watching everything a president does I only have one path to get something that's good for me and the Trump family I've got to do the best possible job for the country in public and let you watch it anything short of that is a failure for me personally if you think I'm this big old narcissist who's only in it for myself that's fine with me because the only way I can get anything that's you know good for my reputation or ego or family or even future income of the Trump family the only way anything good happens for me is if I absolutely nail it in giving the American people what they want and need and deserve so if you think there's some way I could benefit without you knowing it and it would be somehow bad for you did that happen in the first term now of course people will say but bu Jared Jared you know went off and got a deal in Saudi Arabia but he's not part of the administration and he's also not Trump anyway so I'm surprised he hasn't taken that one on straight on um msnbc's coverage was entertainingly ridiculous so Rachel madow looked at the camera and with great sincerity and emotion told her viewers this quote you will remember where you were she's talking about the Comm Harris speech it was so powerful that you will remember where you were the speech tonight from the vice president of the United States KL Harris really intr introducing herself to the nation uh you're going to remember where you were on this night this was an inflection point in history that's your News Network MSNBC it all looks like just mental health just screaming for help well how good are Trump's policies well Trump's policies are so good that his opponents decided not to talk about policies when competing against them they literally have to make up policies that are not his to have something to about what's the top thing in the country economics do they go after Trump on economics well good luck the the country thinks that he's better on economics so you don't do that how about the Border well good luck country thinks that Trump would be better on the border how about International relationships good luck country thinks that Trump would be better on that stuff so what do you have left you make up stuff look look at this 2025 Book Project 2025 these are all the things that Trump's going to do no he isn't he he already disavowed that book he had nothing to do with the creation of it uh he's going to round up he's going to round up all the journalists who don't like him no he's not nobody would be in favor of that there's no Republican who would be okay with arresting journalists because they didn't say good things about Trump nobody literally nobody would be in favor of that no that's not going to happen so if you have a an entire convention that lasts days and nobody can mention a real policy of trump they only can make up something so they have something to about that's a strong campaign I would love to be in the campaign that they can't talk about what you're really doing or have really done they can only talk about what you haven't done or won't do that's it now let's be fair does Trump do the same thing and mischaracterize the Harris policies he does it transparently so he would Trump will say something like she was in favor of this he'll acknowledge that her current view might be different but it's a it's a sign of her character now that's not what we're seeing from Harris we're seeing that he's going to do these things Trump says you know it's something you know about the character and she would probably bring these sensibilities into the office and that's actually a fair thing to say because if you say we know what somebody's past opinions are and it's not that far in the past it's reasonable to assume that they would bring that same mindset into the job what Harris does is say the opposite of what Trump plans to do so Trump will say I am not for a national ban on abortion at the federal level what they say is he's totally in favor of a national ban well that's the opposite of what he said he's not going to change his mind on that anyway um I saw a uh user named Dandy on X he said uh the only thing I can gather from this convention is that somehow they managed to sell the idea that they're running against the people in office who are also the speakers at the convention that's true if you want to know how deep the brainwashing is the Democrats ran against them eles saying that you know the things that they've been doing hadn't been working so you have to do it some other way and then they brought on brought as speakers the people who are the very people who hadn't been getting it done and I thought wow you can you can really brainwash the public to believe absolutely anything so it does seem to me that Harris is running against herself um and that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen and even Trump said uh he he joked about uh how she's had three and a half years to fix this stuff so she's running against herself she is uh let's see how did the political Consultants who we don't trust one bit because they're all in the bag for one candidate or another let's see Jonathan jate uh well-known political writer said quote Comm Harris gave the best AC acceptance speech I've ever seen well that does raise the question of how many he's ever seen maybe it's the first one but did anybody watch your speech and say that's the best speech I ever seen she never even talked better policies and all she did was lie in in really easily checkable ways and that was the best acceptance speech I've ever seen well there's this weird little uh weird little event that happened at the DNC that's getting a lot of play on social media and I don't know how to analyze this but I'll tell you what people are saying so there's a video of the wals family walking onto stage to you know accept the Applause or whatever and there there's four of them holding hands so there's two children and the parents and there's a point where wal seems to take his son's hand and sort of yank him almost angrily now it's very it's a very uh hard to spot thing if you were watching it live you probably wouldn't have noticed but on video you know you can see it a little more dramatically so maybe maybe it looked completely different live but it's hard to explain because when you see it you say why did he do that because it didn't look like the sun was not walking in the right direction I mean they were holding hands but he gave them like the yank the almost like a little it almost looked angry but there was nothing to be angry about that we could see now it needs to be said that his son I don't know what the right words are about special needs would that be the right phrase so son has some um some mental health problems I guess and when you add that to the fact that it looked like his father angrily gave him a yank in his hand I'm not sure that that's what happened by the way so I think I'm going to be um I'll talk about it as a story but I think I think I'm going to maybe surprise you a little bit and I'm going to back the parent on this so there's plenty of stuff for not liking Tim Walls like politically if you don't like his politics there's plenty to work with so you don't need you don't need to dig too deep to find reasons not support him as as a future vice president but since we can't we can't know their relationship we can't know what we can't read his mind um I will tell you that the sun did not react in any way that looked like it was a problem he didn't react to it at all so I feel like maybe it's a little creepy to get in you know to insert ourselves into that relationship whatever Tim is done to raise two kids that's not going to be my point of criticism we don't know his situation we don't know the son's thinking the son is clearly very much in favor of his father I mean he was crying with tears you know as his father was you know accepting the nomination so the kid himself looks like a really sweet kit and I don't think that he was any of the worst for whatever happened and it it could be that it may have been as simple as dad was getting his attention for something you know just make sure he kept him in the game so it might be the video makes it look worse than it is uh I I will I'm going to give you two opinions that seem like they're contradictory but maybe not when you see it on video it's disturbing so don't get me wrong I found it disturbing but there's too much we don't know and so to you know complete the story in our heads that's a little too far for me just we just don't know what that was about but it it raises a flag if you said raises a little flag I'd agree with you on that but I won't go so far as to say that therefore he's beating his children or something like that no evidence of that all right um let's see uh msnbc's uh Joy Reed was was talking about the quote men of the democratic party and uh she said they were portraying something that uh she called 21st century masculinity and some of the other MSNBC hosts were talking about it and the idea is that they're defining what a real man is so a real man is not you know Dana White with his muscles and his success and his confidence and his Swagger who needs that right uh um they're saying that a real man is somebody who can support a woman to be their leader so a real man is somebody who takes a secondary position to a strong woman in this case and uh all of those supportive uh caring empathetic things that women do a real man is going to be strong but also but also have these other characteristics here's my take on that it ain't a man if you have to explain it should I go on or is that enough if you have to explain it it's not a man the the the most the most obvious statement of what a man is is you can tell when you look at it if a woman has to explain to you that that's a real man I'm sorry that process doesn't work how about when I see Trump take a bullet and get back up and yell I say to myself that's a man did anybody need to explain that to me nobody needed to explain it no that was there was right now I'm not saying that everything that the quote real men do is you know acceptable and legal and appropriate not at all but I never wonder who the real men are are if you need to explain it to me and make a make an intellectual argument for who the real men are well that's sort of a tell anyway here's what Nancy Peli said uh I'm roughly uh paraphrasing her she said that Trump is a threat to the Democracy threat to freedom and she likened it to a Thomas pay and Lincoln situation and I said to myself Thomas Payne wasn't he the guy who said we need to pick up arms against our oppressors in fact you know during the Revolutionary War Lincoln Lincoln interesting choice wasn't Lincoln the president who was shot because he wasn't popular for everywhere for uh freeing the slaves um is Nancy police Pelosi giving the public permission to kill this guy that's what it looks like to me to me this looks like how you activate somebody like atomas Crooks somebody who's maybe not the greatest at understanding the world but can be weaponized by being told that if they would just do this one horrible thing you know shoot Lincoln at the Ford Theater you'll be maybe hiled as a hero to me this is a encouraging violence at a level where I ask myself where where is the uh where's the guideline on that at what point is that literally just invoking violence I believe you can get kicked off of X if you encourage violence am I wrong that would be one of the things that Free Speech has a you know somewhat acceptable you know limit to it if you encourage violence you get kicked off the platform which is why I tell you as often as possible I'm against violence in every context sometimes you can observe it and sometimes you you know you just know that it was inevitable but you can't encourage it my interpretation of her comments are that she walked right up to the line of encouraging the worst kind of violence against a political leader well I guess they're all bad but one kind affects the whole country so if I had to judge Nancy Pelosi and KL Harris on their ethics it would be the lowest grade there there isn't a grade below this unless you're actually murdering people yourself but getting right up to this line and knowing you're doing it this is obviously very intentional um that's the most disrespectful disgusting unethical immoral thing you'll ever see now let's check ourselves does Trump do this if Trump does it too then I'm going to say to myself oh now Trump does talk about illegal immigrants in a way that makes you say is this going to cause people to you know do violence against illegal immigrants has it yet I don't I don't I'm not familiar with any story in which a an American citizen did some violence to an immigrant because it was an immigrant or because that Trump said something I've never seen it so it does seem that what Trump does is talk about something we can all observe we can observe the people are coming across the border we can observe that some number of them murder so when he talks about that is that encouraging violence or is it encouraging us to defend ourselves from violence so I think Trump is still in the clearly acceptable range of discussion I don't think daneli is and I don't think K Harris is when they talk about was stealing your freedom and stuff and you know being an insurrectionist you know some of it is just normal political talk if if if a candidate says oh they're taking away your freedom that alone isn't going to cause violence because it just sounds like political talk but if you pair that with well he did try to take over the country once and he's this unstable crazy narcissist he's a psychopath doesn't care about anything but himself if you start adding it all together he sounds like somebody who's literally really dangerous in the real world which he's not as far as I can tell so that's that all right RFK Junior I I believe I heard that Trump has a secret guest today at his rally and we heard that RFK Jr has pulled out of Arizona from the presidential race which you wouldn't do if you were planning to stay in so the rumors seem to be pretty strong and consistent and we don't see any denials when there's plenty of time to deny for example Nicole Shanahan has not made it a denial and it looks like something's going to happen now I'm going to stop short of saying that the rumors are true so the rumors are that RFK Jr is going to endorse Trump and in return would you know get some role in the government I think it's going to be less than that I'm not saying those things won't happen but I think it by today's rally it might not be as strong as that it might be a little circumspect so it could be for example I'm just speculating now it could be that RFK Jr doesn't want to do an unambiguous complete endorsement of trump because that might be too far I mean the reason he was running against Trump and against Biden at the time was because he thought the two candidates didn't have the goods if he had from the very beginning thought everything Trump was doing was the good stuff he wouldn't have rot so here's what would make me feel like honesty had happened because I'll tell you the one thing that I most appreciate about Kennedy and Shanahan I don't think they lied about the other team can you give me any example H have either of them at anytime said something about the other candidates that you said well that's just a lie that's not true you just made up something so you can complain about it I don't think I saw it once did any of you see that did any of you see anybody in the Kennedy Shanahan campaign say anything that was an insult to any American or or something that was a clear political lie now now you have seen things where people interviewed Kennedy and accused him of lying in the past about vaccinations and stuff and then he gives us explanation and you can check for yourself but I haven't seen him get caught in an actual lie I've seen you know things interpreted that he said that he had to clarify Etc but it's very unusual to have somebody well two candidates that are that completely honest about what they want to do and what the other people want to do so here's where RFK JR could find a honest middle ground it's not going to look honest if it's a unambiguous endorsement of trump I wouldn't buy it honestly I wouldn't buy it it would look like that looks like a guy who wants a job or something I mean it just wouldn't it wouldn't sell here's what I think he can say president Trump and I do not agree on everything but the Democratic party has turned into a monstrosity and the president's approach to um border control and some other issues which I consider the important ones are far stronger than the other the other campaign and uh the Democrats have just completely Fallen apart and you just can't support that anymore now that would be completely honest we don't agree on every policy but there are some big big things in which Trump gets it right and the other side just can't be supported with what they're doing it's just too too dishonest Etc now I don't think that anything will happen in terms of a promise of a role in the administration unless it's something general like you know I I hope you could work in my Administration well you know maybe we can find a way to be productive you know so it's going to be some generalities about that um but I hope I hope that Kennedy is completely transparent about this not being an Embrace of all things Mega and then I think that I think he's a hero so he's already a hero in in my mind you know the important place the all the important things happen in my mind not in the real world but in my mind Kennedy and Shanahan are heroes because they did make this chronic illness medical situation um a top conversation and if and if you know endorsing Trump can make it an even higher priority that's that's hero stuff that's hero stuff that's even better than president in my opinion if he could pull that off it would be one of the greatest Feats in American productive American history you know where you're moving stuff in the right direction and and he got there without lying amazing really so what else has happened um Trump says he's not he didn't want any intelligence briefings which he could get as a candidate if he wanted because he's worried that he would get a he would get a briefing about some secret stuff and then the secret stuff briefing people would leak it and then everybody would think that Trump leaked it because they'd blame him so they tell him something they'd leak it and then they blame him for being the leak so Trump says that's what he's worried about is that is that a realistic worry that any briefings would be a setup to say that he leaked it I think so I think that is an actual a legitimate worry now I don't know if that's the reason he doesn't get him he might think that they're fake for example the intelligence people some of them have said out loud that they don't think they can trust him with the real intelligence and that they would give him like intelligence light you know the stuff without the good stuff if he knew that the only intelligence that they were going to give him was the obvious stuff and that they weren't going to tell him anything good unless it was a setup yeah there was no reason to be briefed you know every time Trump shows you a new version of reality you say to yourself why didn't I see that on my own here's the version of reality remember you used to think that watching the news was useful it's not it's all lies remember you when you thought science was honest and if the scientists agreed that pretty much guaranteed it was true nope no scientist agreeing doesn't mean anything what about um you know so basically the news is fake the data is fake the science are fake and now Trump is telling you that intelligence briefings are fake if I'd heard this 15 years ago I would say that's ridiculous that's ridiculous but now I think oh obviously they're fake because they don't want to tell them the good stuff so of course they're not going to they said it I mean you know one some of the top intelligence people have said it out loud we'd be afraid to give them the good stuff I think Brandon said that so yes Trump would get nothing he didn't already know because they would leave out the good stuff and it would just be a trap for them to say that he's a leaker so he's completely right not so much that the leak part is the important part but that the briefings would have no value what's he going to do with that is he going to change his policies cuz he heard a secret thing probably not yeah what's the point of it so so every time you think something is important and then you find out I thought my whole life this was important and then you find out it's not it's just a mind you it's just a mind spinner my mind is still spinning about the fact that it's true that national security briefings for the guy who's likely to be the next president wouldn't have any value like that's hard for me to get my head around but I do believe that in this specific case I believe it meanwhile the Georgia state election board they passed this new measure for the elections that the number of Voters casting ballots must match the number of ballots counted what is the story is the story that the new procedure is that the number of Voters has to equal the number of votes or is the story that it wasn't true before apparently the number of Voters didn't need to match the number of votes how about that so there's your there's your most secure election in American history where the number of Voters didn't need to match the number of votes until now now here's my second question um was this only an issue in Georgia was Georgia the only place where the number of Voters didn't have to match the number of votes the let me tell you as clearly as possible if the filter you put on our election system in terms of how fair and unrigged they are if the filter you put on it was the experts told me it was completely secure oh you're so lost you're so lost how about take it up a level all the experts agreed that it's the elections are too hard to rig it's very fair that doesn't mean anything all the all the experts agreed all the experts didn't check the machines all the experts can't even describe the system in every state how would the experts know if somebody hacked into it and was so good at it they could get away with with it what expert would know that here's the filter you should put on it not the experts said it's true put the dilber filter on it all right so you know what the dilver comic is it's about Mass incompetence being normal not the exception so that's the Dilbert filter Mass incompetence is universal and normal it's just that big companies are good at hiding it from their customers because the customer might just see the product so if you apply that to the Secret Service guarding the president suddenly everything makes sense now there is a question to whether they were extra incompetent intentionally that's still an open question but incompetence can explain just about everything you see in the news and when I look at the elections you've got 50 plus uh different entities doing handling elections you've got hundreds of people maybe thousands involved in every state they don't do the job every day as like paid paid employees or a lot of volunteers so they have to be retrained every time the process for the election itself changes every year for example this new Georgia uh procedure is new so you'd have to train people on that and I could go on and on about the complexity and the number of people involved but when you have this level of complexity you have that number of people involved they're not the permanent employees they just come in as needed for an election most of them every part of that screams that there isn't there isn't the slightest chance that we even know what's going on in the election it's the same filter I put on climate change yep there are all these thermometers around the world and we've got all these crack employees in different parts of the world checking those thermometers no there's no situation in in human history in which you could make that work that being a big complicated thing where you got different technology in different places and the environment's changing and the heat islands are moving and they're all different countries and different languages and they're they're checking these thermometers all about half the time they don't even check do do you think every single time in some other country the person goes through the junk and then writes down correctly you know the numbers from the machine the thermometer or sometimes do they say ah it's probably the same as last year I'll just bump it up at 0.1 and then you get paid the same whether you looked at it or just said you looked at it now maybe there's some logs where they would get caught if they did that but who checks the logs so my point is whenever you see any system that's vast and has lots of people involved it's always a mess W with those of you who have experience in large organizations of any kind can you confirm this for maybe the other people who don't have this experience if you've worked in any big entity would you confirm that they're all just a disaster if you know what's happening behind the curtain they're all a disaster it's just that over time some of these disasters can produce an i.

Phone and then you say wow industry is awesome all right um so KL Harris is trying to be pro-israel and pro Palestinian but uh apparently she can pull that off because her her customers don't care about anything except not having Trump in office yeah I think we should stop pretending that anybody's influenced by the policies except a handful of um Independence but people who would go to the DNC or even watch the DNC they don't care what the policies are they just want less Trump that's all they need so yeah Harris is pulling off the I'm I'm for both sides okay um so who's going to get the Boost from the uh DNC so you'd suspect the Democrats would get a little boost but it's working the other way um the polls might show a boost because I think most of the polls are rigged at this point with oversampling of Democrats but the betting markets turned negative on her so when she should have been getting a boost the people who had actual money to put on it they said I think we trust her a little bit less by the end of this so that's a pretty expensive uh event to put on to reduce your credibility anyway um now the daily wire says the betting sites to betting sites have moved in Trump's Direction they think part of it could be that revision of the jobs thing 88,000 jobs revised which means that the biomics wasn't working nearly as well as they've been claiming and now we know and the other part might be the Kennedy alleged potential endorsement so the betting markets might be ahead of reality there all right uh there's a h article on sa poost as in psii um the Democrats rarely have Republicans as romantic partners and vice versa did you know that um having a mixed marriage where you got a Democrat and a republican were married uh only 8% of marriages they disagree on politics now I would I would say that makes sense especially in our current situation but um I would love to know if the marriage where the the 8% of the people I wonder if they have better results of staying married or worse you know if the 8% who do get married and one's a Democrat one's a republican if they can stay married longer maybe we learn something but if they get divorced much faster maybe we've learned something else I'd love to know that that'd be that'd be this stat I'd like to see but we are not surprised that the the country is so divided that we can't reproduce that's right the country is so divided that we've lost the ability to reproduce a replacement level and I think this is a big part of it you know it used to be that if somebody was you know mildly leaning in the other direction on politics you wouldn't even care that much it just wouldn't even part of your you know if they didn't watch TV and you know go to events they just sort of mildly had an opinion maybe even would vote differently than you that's not a big deal but today everybody's an activist everybody either has to love Trump or hate him and he's the devil you can't really have that in your house you can't have that kind of disagreement in your house all right here's an update on H Hamas and Gaza and is this is from Saul sadka on the xplatform seems to be pretty tapped into what's going on over there so here here are the claims from Saul um and I know he's smart I don't know too much about him but he follows me on X so obviously he's pretty smart just like the rest of you follow me anyway he's he says that in a longer post that I recommend you read because it's really interesting he says the humas um are contained and almost totally defeated so there's as much containment as there is defeat meaning that uh allegedly 177,000 of the humas enemies were killed already and uh at the cost of 330 um Israeli soldiers who died and they've got 5,000 prisoners of war and they're you know taking out many more as they keep fighting but apparently now Israel has succeeded in creating what is called strategic corridors so it looks like they're uh putting Gaza into sort of a grid not not a um symmetrical grid where it's you know boxes or anything like that but they're covering they're they're basically breaking Gaza into Parts where if you wanted to get from one of those parts to the other you'd have to go across some kind of strategic Corridor and that would be very dangerous because the IDF would control it now so that gives them the ability to stop you know weapons and resupply of of at least weapons and it also isolates in one part of Gaza they think even sinir is areas they the Hamas so they think the whatever's left of the leadership um is in one little section that's now completely surrounded and they can't resupply and they can't get out so that would suggest that Israel's plan of what they call Total Victory um might be slow but is now guaranteed meaning that the only thing that could stop them from having 100% control over you know every body and hole in Gaza is that they're stopped before they get there but nothing would stop them unless the external situation stopped them so they now have have complete control um it's a it's a whole different situation and by the way this is what Israel said on day one that the the the understanding of Gaza would be different you know it's not going to be the same place so the whole conversation about uh two State solution I don't see that happening but it's not up to me so I'm not giving you an opinion and I'm not giving you a preference I'm just observing like the rest of you and I don't see any chance that there would be a two-state solution to me that just sounds like something that people have to say so that they don't look like they're monsters it's just something you say I used to think it was real by the way actually at one point I was in favor of it but then I realized it's it doesn't matter what I'm in favor of at some point I realized I have nothing to do with that I'm just watching so you can predict but what you're in favor of doesn't make any difference all right that ladies and gentlemen is all I have I'm going to say bye to the You.

Tube and Rumble folks I'm going to talk to privately the people on uh locals if I can remember to hit the correct button this time and uh as everybody confirmed that we didn't stream on X maybe we did did anybody see it on x anyway uh e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

let's

see oh we got problems don't

we it looks like we successfully logged

into Rumble and

locals and it looks like neither YouTube

nor X have gone

live what would that be do you

think so do you think YouTube

is cutting off

Rumble well you're all here and I'm here

so interesting so it's just going to be

Rumble and uh Rumble in locals

today do you think I should try

restarting it what do you

think probably

not if I if I get out and get back in I

think all it's going to do is start

where it is all right well we're just

going to call that a uh technical

problem it's not going to slow us down a

bit

but I just got

demonetized so we'll see if the show is

any better once I'm

demonetized oh look we've got some

YouTube people coming in now oh that's

interesting so YouTube's online it looks

like only X is

failing I wonder why don't know

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of your entire life if

you'd like this to go up to a level that

you can't even understand with your tiny

shiny human brain well all you need is a

cup or muger glass a tankered shell s Dy

a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any

kind to fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparallel pleasure the dopamine it

day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and wow it happens now

go so good so good well here's some

science updates and we'll talk about the

DNC and Harris and RFK Jr and UFOs and

anything else you want to talk about but

just so you know all the cool things

that are

coming according to

wired uh mRNA technology could be used

to make your damaged liver good again

without a transplant how about that

there's actually a technology that can

heal a mouse's liver not completely

apparently but it makes a big difference

so we might be on the uh the verge of

giving you new organs with a shot can

you imagine that oh my organs are

failing that's okay come here I'll give

you a shot and then all your organs

start rebuilding themselves that's a

real thing that that might actually be

coming Well Medical Express publication

says that there's some indication that

THC that would be the active ingredient

ingredient in marijuana reverses brain

aging and enhances cognition in

mice now you know what I'm going to say

don't you you know what I'm going to

say now I don't recommend marijuana for

anybody because it's a medical

product in my opinion I don't think

marijuana has the recreational value

that people use it for but medically

medically has some real uses and uh they

could have saved a little money because

I will tell you that my own experience

is that well I'm just going to say

it I'll say it as directly as I can

there isn't a chance in hell I would be

meeting five deadlines a day creating

new

content without a little

help my aging brain would not be able to

sit down every single day and write

seven new

jokes I'm telling you my own experien is

that it's a brain

enhancer and to me it's

obvious now I don't recommend it you

should only talk to a doctor and don't

drive a car and if you're under 18 it'd

be stupid to do weed it would just ruin

your life so I don't recommend it but on

this one limited claim that uh they're

talking about low doses by the way oh

this is important they tested low

doses now my experience is that if

you're a daily let's say medical user

you get used to it and then what would

be a high dose for somebody else is kind

of a low dose for you so it could be

that I've been low dosing for a

while anyway there's a trailer for a

movie you know the advertisement for a

movie called the trailer movie is a

megalopolis but they had to remove the

trailer because apparently included some

quotes some praising quotes from critics

that those critics never said how do you

think they ended up with a bunch of

quotes from critics about their movie

that they never said well I don't know

if there's um I don't know if there's a

specific explanation of how went wrong

but here's my

guess hey chat

GPT can you tell me what the critics say

about the

movie well so and so says it's the

greatest movie and it will change your

life okay and they write that down and

they make they make the trailer with

those quotes only to find out later that

chat GPT literally made it up now the

story doesn't say that's what happened

but isn't it obvious

if if you had to place a bet if you've

used AI by the way you'll know this it

does make stuff up I ask AI about myself

just because that's the easiest thing to

check it makes stuff up things I've

never heard of awards I've never won um

I mean it's just completely fantasizes

about people

so that's probably what happened but I

have a standard for judging things like

this and most other things I don't

believe in judging people by their

mistakes because if you did that You'

just hate everybody all the time I mean

humans are just making mistakes all over

the place there's nobody you know who

hasn't made mistakes that you think they

shouldn't have so instead of judging

people by their mistakes because nobody

makes a mistake

intentionally judge them by what they do

when they get caught or when trouble

happens and how do they respond well

well here's how they responded I guess

Lion's gate is the entity that put it

out they said uh quote we offer our

sincere apologies to the critics

involved and to Francis Ford Copa and

American zoto for their for this

inexcusable error in our vetting

process um we screwed up we are

sorry almost

perfect almost perfect I will accept it

as

completely um sincere sounding and they

didn't look to blame anybody did they it

would have been really easy to blame

somebody nope lion gate said our our

mistake we apologize but there's one

thing missing one thing missing Steve

Jobs knew how to do this the one thing

missing is what are you going to do

about it what are you going to do so you

don't do it

again so they said it was a mistake in

the Ving process but just this little

bit of improvement would have taken them

to A+ it's already it's already an A

minus is very acceptable I I think they

did a good job with it but if they just

said we're we're going to redo our

vetting

process maybe even telling us what went

wrong you know we we relied on a

internet search we're going to have to

make sure that you know we verify things

something like that so always you should

you got to take full responsibility but

then you got to say what you're going to

do to not make that same mistake again

that's perfect if you get that

all right um YouTube apparently has some

new feature that I'm also assuming is

Aid driven something they wouldn't have

been able to do before I think which is

they're going to allow you premium users

the people who pay to be on YouTube

allow them to skip sponsored segments in

YouTube videos now what would be a

sponsored segment in a YouTube video

what it would be like me giving a

commercial

for a

product which I would never do because

people would skip it now would YouTube

be able to pick out that this is not a

sponsored product but rather my own

product and would would the AI make a

distinction so when I say I've got a new

book and the main reason I do social

media so people could know if I have a

new

product if I tell people about my new

product are they going to introduce a

button so you can skip it I don't know

is the AI smart enough to know that this

is my product and that's very different

than a sponsored

advertisement I don't know we shall see

but the effect of that would be to

actually

destroy uh a huge bunch of people who

their entire money comes from doing

sponsored commercials on

Youtube I won't destroy it right away

because people won't know the buttons

there and maybe the feature doesn't work

perfectly and blah blah blah and also

you could always fast forward a video

you you always had that

ability but uh it might allow me to

watch uh Joe Rogan stuff if it were on

YouTube I I can't watch as much as Joe

Rogan show is amazing I can't get past

the ads I just my life is too short I

don't have time for listening to a bunch

of

ads anyway here's something interesting

um I saw a post from a user on X called

Victorio who said in a few years people

will not be able to function in society

without a brain computer interface so

that's sort of like the neuralink chip

in your head um and Elon Musk commented

at some point having a neuralink will be

normal and that uh and and separately

musk is predicting that uh in several

years there could be tens of millions of

humans who have a chip in their head and

that would be approaching

normal do you think that's going to be

normal do you think that in your

lifetime um you know all children will

have a chip in their

head I think he's right I think he's

right and the reason is that AI is too

powerful to be separate from humans in

other words humans are going to have to

absorb ABB the power of AI into

themselves and it might be the chip that

allows them to do it I don't I don't

know if there's any plan to you know do

that specifically but you could imagine

all kinds of things that you'd want to

do better and be competitive in an AI

world you just might need a chip you you

might not even be able to hold a job

unless you've got a good chip in you

yeah you could easily imagin in the

future an employer saying uh we're only

looking for people who have been chipped

because when we you know give our new

announcements and memos and stuff we

don't want to send it by email uh we're

just going to send it directly to the

employees in their heads now I don't

know if that will ever be possible with

a neurl link by the way I don't know if

it can I don't even know if it's two-way

in that way or it could be or what but

uh yeah you I I think musk is right it

is inevitable that humans will have

computer chip interfaces in their head I

don't think there's any way around

that Tucker Carlson has been uh uh I

don't know do we say red pilled anymore

about the chronic disease epidemic in

America now RFK Jr and Nicole shanan

have been in my opinion the primary

message givers that the country is sick

from our food our Pharma and maybe other

stuff we don't know what but um Tucker

says quote on a video recently if you

look at the rates of chronic illness in

this country it's destroying the country

and it's an emergency it's an emergency

that I would say supersedes all other

emergencies now that's the key line the

key line is that that's the emergency

that's bigger than all the other

emergencies that's that's like it came

right out of my mouth or RFK Junior's

mouth I do believe that the food supply

the big farmer and maybe even the things

that our our media is doing to us are so

bad it's just killing America to the

point where I'm not sure we could even

be a competitive country if we let

ourselves be just destroyed by these

forces

so the first step in doing anything

about it would be acknowledging that

it's a major major problem and I don't

see I don't see Trump saying it and I

don't see K haris saying it

why is it that Tucker and I and RFK Jr

and probably a lot of parents think this

is the biggest problem in the

country and by the way when I say the

biggest problem in the country I mean by

a

lot I I mean that whatever is number two

isn't really even close to this because

I don't really think we have much of a

risk of a nuclear war and I think

climate change is sort of long-term

manageable

situation um I don't I don't think AI is

going to kill us you know we have those

are manageable risks but we don't have

really any effort whatsoever to stop the

fact that our environment's killing us

like crazy now I I reposted uh youo

Tucker's comments on X but I I wanted to

add that you have to add mental illness

to this because when when you're talking

about chronic illness you aren't

necessarily talking about the mental

part now ADD the mental part so take the

number of people who have a chronic

illness one of the ones that we didn't

get 100 years ago that's just something

about modern living and then add to that

the number of mental illness situations

are that's modern that also we didn't

have 100 years ago you get almost

everybody you get almost everybody

everybody has at least a mental problem

that you wouldn't have had before and at

least one chronic illness that you would

never would have had before

so yeah it's that bad but remember I

always tell you that we make this

mistake of thinking that the brain and

the body can be looked at as separate

machines that just have some connection

and I say no no no they're not separate

machines they're all just one thing your

arms and your legs are what keep your

your your brain healthy because if you

get up and your arms and your legs take

you into a forest suddenly your brain

says Ah I'm a little relaxed now I'm in

a forest so separating your body from

your brain gets you all the wrong

analysis so here's something to back

that

up at uh Michigan medicine the

University of Michigan they found that

uh mental health and chronic diabetes

are strongly linked now you say to my

you say well that's obvious Scott if if

you get chronic you know if you get

diabetes obviously you're going to be

less

happy to which I say yes that makes

sense but it turns out that the

correlation works both

ways they think so the study shows that

your mental illness might cause your

diabetes but also your diabetes might

cause your mental

illness but if your mental illness

causes your diabetes and your diabetes

causes your mental illness you're kind

of in bad shape if you get either one of

those two things

so that's just more evidence that your

brain and your body have to be

considered one one

system all right um I don't know if you

watched this it was kind of one of these

wonderful moments in live television or

was it live I think live is when uh I

guess Fox News cut the must have cut

Trump's feed off I think there were

watching him uh do a speech so they cut

it off and they went to the uh the

Gutfeld J

Gutfeld exclamation mark and I guess um

Greg Gutfeld said on air you know since

they cut off president Trump he said

you've got my number give me a

call so as guffi is doing his show his

phone rings and it was

Trump trump actually called him you he's

on he's on air he like youo give me a

call and next thing you know he's on the

phone live to Trump he puts on the

speaker phone and uh and Greg has to

tell him you know the audience is here

don't say anything don't don't say

anything embarrassing and uh and then

the funniest part the funniest part is

that Greg had to do a show and and it

wasn't really the most convenient thing

to have a you know half hour

conversation on your cell phone holding

it up to your microphone on your chest

so he needed to get he needed to get

Trump off the

phone the best part about it is have you

ever had the situation where you're done

with a phone

call one of my exes had had a way to

tell you that the phone call is done you

know you'd be talking about some stuff

you'd be going back and forth normal

conversation then you hear on the other

side of the phone

anyway and then I know the

conversation's

done anyway so Greg was doing his his

version of how do you get the president

off the

phone and I don't know that was the best

part is trying is trying to give the

ex-president of the United States maybe

the future one you know the the bums

rush off the phone you know once you've

done your poite stuff it's time to move

on anyway that was fun you should watch

the video

that um I just saw a h clip from uh

Peter teal talking to um Joe Rogan I

guess that interview happened several

days ago but I hadn't seen this part and

apparently Peter teal has this Theory

that uh the reason that so many

compromised people seem to be in power

you know people that you would assume

there would be some blackmail on you you

just if you're if you're paying

attention at all you look at our leaders

and you say we got a lot of leaders that

in my Suspicious Mind and based on what

I've heard and what I see they all look

black

mailable you you've heard me say that

right I've said that a number of times

that they just have this black mailable

vibe to them like there's something

going on besides their political stuff

that somebody could blackmail them for

and Peter teal seems to think that it's

a necessity to get ahead that if you're

not

blackmail the people who really run the

country can't trust you they need to be

able to control you and so they prefer

people who have black mailable things

that the public doesn't yet

know now that would explain everything

now when I say it it sounds a little

crazy right when I say it seems to me

like they're favoring black mailable

people it sure looks that way but I

don't have any evidence of that however

when Peter teal says it um suddenly I

think was I right but he didn't show any

evidence either it's not like there's

some scientific study but he is way more

connected I think than I am in other

words he would would be closer to the

you know whatever is behind the curtain

and for him to say

this really got my attention it's

certainly short of something that is

confirmed but it looks like it and when

you're your observations are so

consistent over time it might be

confirmation bias but it's certainly

helpful to hear at least one other smart

person who's well connected to say

that's what it

is well let's talk about that um DNC and

KL Harris talked uh by the way um i'

like to make an announcement if you stay

till the end of my show today I've got a

special guest uh

Beyonce and after she's done Taylor

Swift will'll do a couple of tunes I

told her to keep it short and then

George W Bush George W bush will be here

as my special guest that's all

completely true

stop it stop acting like I just made

that

up this is the way you handle a big

event I learned that from the DNC yes

the DNC hinted that there would be a

special guest so that people wouldn't

turn off the TV before KL Harris was

there and then rumors started online

it's Beyonce but of course it wasn't

it's Taylor Swift but of course it

wasn't it's George W bush which was just

stupid because of course it wasn't but

it probably worked it probably kept

their numbers eye the the number of lies

that come out of the the Democrat side

is just it's just breathtaking it's just

everything all the time they they only

got one mode anyway uh remember ex press

secretary Jen

saki she said on MSNBC that KL Harris

well she was complimenting her and she

said that K Harris is likable she's very

likable if you meet her in person she's

got this

likable personal Vibe it's so likable

that uh Jens saki said that uh she's as

likable as Hillary

Clinton with her magical charismatic

quality so I saw a post from Eric

abinanti he said that that should be the

Republican slogan the Republicans should

run on the idea that kamla Harris is as

likable as Hillary

Clinton you know a as funny as that

comment is the thing that makes it funny

is that it would actually

work if if

tomorrow the uh you know the Republicans

erased every commercial that they have

just just dumped them all got rid of all

their signs all their slogans everything

on their website and they just went with

one

sentence that K Harris is as like a as

Hillary Clinton and never said anything

else about politics he could win I'm not

recommending it it's not going to happen

but yeah in in my mind I say you know

what nothing else makes a

difference at this point everybody has a

general idea what which direction the

policies would be in both both

cases you could just say she's a likable

as Hillary Clinton I don't know how many

people would register with that but it

worked for me

I saw the maze account on X say that the

DNC is like one big support group for

people who are imagining that Donald

Trump has hurt

them now that is the best summary it

looks like a support group for people

who imagined that Trump had hurt them

but also imagined that he will hurt them

again after the first time that they

imagined he hurt him that really does

capture everything if if you had heard

that Framing and said we've got a

Convention of people who uh have mental

problems and their specific mental

problems they believe that this one

person Donald Trump has hurt them and

he's coming back and he might do it

again that really would explain 100% of

Everything You observe that one frame

wouldn't leave out a thing they do act

exactly like he hurt them and they might

do it

again I don't know what they they're

thinking but but they sure look that way

well so K Harris gave her speech uh they

made that same mistake they made once

with uh Biden where they gave her a dark

and for boting background and put her in

a dark suit so she

looked she looked uh

professional she looked

presidential but evil at the same

time I'm sure you can do a background

that doesn't make you look

evil it could be done I I think I've

seen Trump do it for example you have

some nice lighting got a nice light

background you know you got a bunch of

flags she did have Flags but then she

had this weird dark dark look that just

looks

Sinister big mistake on the design

people I would

say um but the only thing I learned from

that is that Harris can still read

because she didn't talk about policies

which Trump was mocking her for she

talked about her childhood don't care

too

much and then she told a bunch of

obvious

lies and things that would get uh

Republicans killed and divide the

country that uh she said Trump will set

free violent

extremists I don't think there's any

chance of that do you he said he would

pardon the January 6 people but do you

really think he's going to Pardon

anybody who was violent I doubt

it I I I would think that that would be

an exception to his

pardons um she said that Trump was going

to jail journalists and political

opponents

well did he ever say

that has Trump ever said that he would

jail journalists and political opponents

I've never heard that have

you now the question of whether he

should

I think is uh in the ballpark of

nobody's Above the Law I mean they lawed

him Beyond any reasonable level and if

he decides to laware them

back I wouldn't be terribly in favor of

it because I think it would you know

tear the country apart but he certainly

has a right to do

it provided that they have done real

crimes and it's obvious

right if they haven't done real crimes

well no I don't want to laware anybody

for that's what they did to him

it's what they did to some of us you

know in a

way so she threw up all the all the

hoaxes look pure evil to me um I got to

say that whenever I see Trump demonized

this way as someone who would jail

journalists and political opponents and

set free violent extremists it it feels

personal meaning that she's really

painting half of the country or I don't

know 40% uh of the country as supporting

this person which sort of would make you

that person too if it were true I mean I

regard these as simply not true but if

you want to know how I take it I take it

as you're attacking

me I don't know do do Democrats get that

feeling when Trump talks it feel like

Trump is attacking them as as humans now

I know that they don't like you know

particular

policies but does he say things that

make you think he wants you to be

dead because when I read this I think do

you want me to be

dead would you think you'd be better off

if I support Trump and you think Trump's

so

dangerous wouldn't you be better off if

I were dead

so I mean to me that's really dangerous

rhetoric and it gets worse we'll talk

about Nancy py in a

second anyway to me the weirdest attack

is that Trump is in it for

himself and it's the weirdest attack

because it's the easiest one to debunk

now Trump has never done that and I

always wonder about that here here's the

easiest debunk to Trump's only in it for

himself

and this is something that Trump is good

at is putting it in the form of a

question if you put it in the form of a

question it's way more powerful debunk

and here would be the question I would

ask if I were

Trump how could I possibly get anything

that's good for me unless I do the best

job for the

country you know you're all watching

right you understand everybody's

watching everything a president does I

only have one path to get something

that's good for me and the Trump family

I've got to do the best possible job for

the country in public and let you watch

it anything short of that is a failure

for me personally if you think I'm this

big old narcissist who's only in it for

myself that's fine with me because the

only way I can get anything that's you

know good for my reputation or ego or

family or even future income of the

Trump family the only way anything good

happens for me

is if I absolutely nail it in giving the

American people what they want and need

and

deserve so if you think there's some way

I could benefit without you knowing it

and it would be somehow bad for you did

that happen in the first term now of

course people will say but bu Jared

Jared you know went off and got a deal

in Saudi Arabia but he's not part of the

administration and he's also not

Trump anyway

so I'm surprised he hasn't taken that

one on straight

on um msnbc's coverage was

entertainingly ridiculous so Rachel

madow looked at the camera and with

great sincerity and emotion told her

viewers

this quote you will remember where you

were she's talking about the Comm Harris

speech it was so powerful that you will

remember where you were the speech

tonight from the vice president of the

United States KL Harris really intr

introducing herself to the

nation uh you're going to remember where

you were on this night this was an

inflection point in

history that's your News Network

MSNBC it all looks like just mental

health just screaming for help

well how good are Trump's policies well

Trump's policies are so good that his

opponents decided not to talk about

policies when competing against them

they literally have to make up policies

that are not his to have something to

about what's the top thing in the

country economics do they go after Trump

on economics well good luck the the

country thinks that he's better on

economics so you don't do that

how about the Border well good luck

country thinks that Trump would be

better on the border how about

International

relationships good luck country thinks

that Trump would be better on that stuff

so what do you have

left you make up stuff look look at this

2025 Book Project 2025 these are all the

things that Trump's going to do no he

isn't he he already disavowed that book

he had nothing to do with the creation

of it

uh he's going to round up he's going to

round up all the journalists who don't

like him no he's

not nobody would be in favor of that

there's no Republican who would be okay

with arresting journalists because they

didn't say good things about Trump

nobody literally nobody would be in

favor of that no that's not going to

happen so if you have a an entire

convention that lasts

days and nobody can mention a real

policy of trump they only can make up

something so they have something to

about that's a strong

campaign I would love to be in the

campaign that they can't talk about what

you're really doing or have really done

they can only talk about what you

haven't done or won't do that's

it now let's be fair does Trump do the

same thing and mischaracterize the

Harris

policies he does it

transparently so he would Trump will say

something like she was in favor of this

he'll acknowledge that her current view

might be

different but it's a it's a sign of her

character now that's not what we're

seeing from

Harris we're seeing that he's going to

do these things Trump says you know it's

something you know about the character

and she would probably bring these

sensibilities into the office and that's

actually a fair thing to say because if

you say we know what somebody's past

opinions are and it's not that far in

the past it's reasonable to assume that

they would bring that same mindset into

the

job what Harris does is say the opposite

of what Trump plans to do so Trump will

say I am not for a national ban on

abortion at the federal level what they

say is he's totally in favor of a

national ban well that's the opposite of

what he said he's not going to change

his mind on that

anyway

um I saw a uh user named Dandy on X he

said uh the only thing I can gather from

this convention is that somehow they

managed to sell the idea that they're

running against the people in office who

are also the speakers at the

convention that's true if you want to

know how deep the brainwashing

is the Democrats ran against them

eles saying that you know the things

that they've been doing hadn't been

working so you have to do it some other

way and then they brought on brought as

speakers the people who are the very

people who hadn't been getting it

done and I thought wow you can you can

really brainwash the public to believe

absolutely

anything so it does seem to me that

Harris is running against

herself um and that's the weirdest thing

I've ever

seen and even Trump said uh he he joked

about uh how she's had three and a half

years to fix this stuff so she's running

against herself she

is uh let's see how did the political

Consultants who we don't trust one bit

because they're all in the bag for one

candidate or another let's see Jonathan

jate uh well-known political writer said

quote Comm Harris gave the best AC

acceptance speech I've ever seen well

that does raise the question of how many

he's ever seen maybe it's the first one

but did anybody watch your speech and

say that's the best speech I ever

seen she never even talked better

policies and all she did was lie in in

really easily checkable ways and that

was the best acceptance speech I've ever

seen well there's this weird little uh

weird little event that happened at the

DNC that's getting a lot of play on

social media and I don't know how to

analyze this but I'll tell you what

people are saying so there's a video of

the wals family walking onto stage to

you know accept the Applause or whatever

and there there's four of them holding

hands so there's two children and the

parents and there's a point where wal

seems to take his son's hand and sort of

yank him almost

angrily now it's very it's a very uh

hard to spot thing if you were watching

it live you probably wouldn't have

noticed but on video you know you can

see it a little more dramatically so

maybe maybe it looked completely

different live but it's hard to explain

because when you see it you say why did

he do that because it didn't look like

the sun was not walking in the right

direction I mean they were holding hands

but he gave them like the yank the

almost like a little it almost looked

angry but there was nothing to be angry

about that we could see now it needs to

be said that his son I don't know what

the right words are about special needs

would that be the right phrase so son

has some

um some mental health problems I guess

and when you add that to the fact that

it looked like his father angrily gave

him a yank in his hand I'm not sure that

that's what happened by the way so I

think I'm going to

be um I'll talk about it as a

story but I think I think I'm going to

maybe surprise you a little bit and I'm

going to back the parent on this so

there's plenty of stuff for not liking

Tim Walls like politically if you don't

like his politics there's plenty to work

with so you don't need you don't need to

dig too deep to find reasons not support

him as as a future vice

president but since we

can't we can't know their relationship

we can't know what we can't read his

mind um I will tell you that the sun did

not react in any way that looked like it

was a problem he didn't react to it at

all so I feel

like maybe it's a little creepy to get

in you know to insert ourselves into

that

relationship whatever Tim is done to

raise two kids that's not going to be my

point of criticism we don't know his

situation we don't know the son's

thinking the son is clearly very much in

favor of his father I mean he was crying

with tears you know as his father was

you know accepting the nomination so the

kid himself looks like a really sweet

kit and I don't think that he was any of

the worst for whatever happened and it

it could be that it may have been as

simple as dad was getting his attention

for something you know just make sure he

kept him in the game so it might be the

video makes it look worse than it is uh

I I will I'm going to give you two

opinions that seem like they're

contradictory but maybe not when you see

it on video it's

disturbing so don't get me wrong I found

it

disturbing but there's too much we don't

know and so to you know complete the

story in our heads that's a little too

far for me just we just don't know what

that was about but it it raises a flag

if you said raises a little flag I'd

agree with you on that but I won't go so

far as to say that therefore he's

beating his children or something like

that no evidence of

that all right

um let's see uh msnbc's uh Joy Reed was

was talking about the quote men of the

democratic

party and uh she said they were

portraying something that uh she called

21st century

masculinity and some of the other MSNBC

hosts were talking about it and the idea

is that they're defining what a real man

is so a real man is not you know Dana

White with his muscles and his success

and his confidence and his

Swagger who needs that right uh um

they're saying that a real man is

somebody who can support a woman to be

their leader so a real man is somebody

who takes a secondary position to a

strong woman in this case and uh all of

those supportive uh caring empathetic

things that women do a real man is going

to be strong but also but also have

these other

characteristics here's my take on that

it ain't a man if you have to explain

it should I go on or is that

enough if you have to explain

it it's not a

man the the the most the most obvious

statement of what a man is is you can

tell when you look at it if a woman has

to explain to you that that's a real

man I'm sorry that process doesn't

work how about when I see Trump take a

bullet and get back up and yell I say to

myself that's a man did anybody need to

explain that to me nobody needed to

explain it no that was there was

right now I'm not saying that everything

that the quote real men do is you know

acceptable and legal and appropriate not

at all but I never wonder who the real

men are

are if you need to explain it to me and

make a make an intellectual argument for

who the real men

are well that's sort of a

tell anyway here's what Nancy Peli said

uh I'm roughly uh paraphrasing her she

said that Trump is a threat to the

Democracy threat to freedom and she

likened it to a Thomas pay and Lincoln

situation and I said to myself Thomas

Payne wasn't he the guy who said we need

to pick up arms against our

oppressors in fact you know during the

Revolutionary War

Lincoln Lincoln interesting choice

wasn't Lincoln the president who was

shot because he wasn't popular for

everywhere for uh freeing the

slaves um

is Nancy police Pelosi giving the public

permission to kill this guy that's what

it looks like to me to me this looks

like how you activate somebody like

atomas Crooks somebody who's maybe not

the greatest at understanding the world

but can be weaponized by being told that

if they would just do this one horrible

thing you know shoot Lincoln at the Ford

Theater you'll be maybe hiled as a hero

to me this is a encouraging violence at

a level where I ask myself where where

is the uh where's the guideline on that

at what point is that literally just

invoking

violence I believe you can get kicked

off of X if you encourage violence am I

wrong that would be one of the things

that Free Speech has a you know somewhat

acceptable you know limit to it if you

encourage

violence you get kicked off the platform

which is why I tell you as often as

possible I'm against violence in every

context sometimes you can observe it and

sometimes you you know you just know

that it was inevitable but you can't

encourage

it my interpretation of her comments are

that she walked right up to the line of

encouraging the worst kind of violence

against a political leader well I guess

they're all bad

but one kind affects the whole country

so if I had to judge Nancy Pelosi and KL

Harris on their ethics it would be the

lowest grade there there isn't a grade

below this unless you're actually

murdering people yourself but getting

right up to this line and knowing you're

doing it this is obviously very

intentional um

that's the most

disrespectful

disgusting unethical immoral thing

you'll ever see now let's check

ourselves does Trump do this if Trump

does it too then I'm going to say to

myself oh now Trump does talk about

illegal

immigrants in a way that makes you

say is this going to cause people to you

know do violence against illegal

immigrants has it

yet I don't I don't I'm not familiar

with any story in which a an American

citizen did some violence to an

immigrant because it was an

immigrant or because that Trump said

something I've never seen

it so it does seem that what Trump does

is talk about something we can all

observe we can observe the people are

coming across the border we can observe

that some number of them

murder so when he talks about that is

that encouraging violence or is it

encouraging us to defend ourselves from

violence so I think Trump is still in

the clearly acceptable range of

discussion I don't think daneli is and I

don't think K Harris is when they talk

about was stealing your freedom and

stuff and you know being an

insurrectionist you know some of it is

just normal political talk if if if a

candidate says oh they're taking away

your freedom that alone isn't going to

cause violence because it just sounds

like political talk but if you pair that

with well he did try to take over the

country once and he's this unstable

crazy narcissist he's a psychopath

doesn't care about anything but himself

if you start adding it all together he

sounds like somebody who's literally

really dangerous in the real world

which he's not as far as I can

tell so that's that all right RFK Junior

I I believe I heard that Trump has a

secret guest today at his rally and we

heard that RFK Jr has pulled out of

Arizona from the presidential race which

you wouldn't do if you were planning to

stay in so the rumors seem to be pretty

strong and consistent and we don't see

any denials when there's plenty of time

to deny for example Nicole Shanahan has

not made it a

denial and it looks like something's

going to happen now I'm going to stop

short of saying that the rumors are true

so the rumors are that RFK Jr is going

to endorse

Trump and in return would you know get

some role in the government I think it's

going to

be less than that

I'm not saying those things won't happen

but I think it by today's rally it might

not be as strong as

that it might be a little

circumspect so it could be for example

I'm just speculating now it could be

that RFK Jr doesn't want to do an

unambiguous complete endorsement of

trump because that might be too far I

mean the reason he was running against

Trump and against Biden at the time was

because he thought the two candidates

didn't have the

goods if he had from the very beginning

thought everything Trump was doing was

the good stuff he wouldn't have

rot

so here's what would make me feel like

honesty had happened because I'll tell

you the one thing that I most appreciate

about Kennedy and Shanahan I don't think

they lied about the other

team can you give me any

example H have either of them at

anytime said something about the other

candidates that you said well that's

just a lie that's not true you just made

up something so you can complain about

it I don't think I saw it once did any

of you see that did any of you see

anybody in the Kennedy Shanahan campaign

say anything that was an insult to any

American or or something that was a

clear political lie now now you have

seen things where people interviewed

Kennedy and accused him of lying in the

past about vaccinations and stuff and

then he gives us explanation and you can

check for yourself but I haven't seen

him get caught in an actual lie I've

seen you know things interpreted that he

said that he had to clarify Etc but it's

very unusual to have somebody well two

candidates that are that completely

honest about what they want to do and

what the other people want to do

so here's where RFK JR could find a

honest middle ground it's not going to

look honest if it's a unambiguous

endorsement of trump I wouldn't buy it

honestly I wouldn't buy it it would look

like that looks like a guy who wants a

job or something I mean it just wouldn't

it wouldn't sell here's what I think he

can say president Trump and I do not

agree on

everything but the Democratic party has

turned into a

monstrosity and the president's approach

to um border control and some other

issues which I consider the important

ones are far stronger than the other the

other campaign and uh the Democrats have

just completely Fallen apart and you

just can't support that anymore now that

would be completely honest we don't

agree on every policy but there are some

big big things in which Trump gets it

right and the other side just can't be

supported with what they're doing it's

just too too dishonest Etc now I don't

think that anything will happen in terms

of a promise of a role in the

administration unless it's something

general like you know I I hope you could

work in my Administration well you know

maybe we can find a way to be productive

you know so it's going to be some

generalities about that um but I hope

I hope that Kennedy is completely

transparent about this not being an

Embrace of all things Mega and then I

think that I think he's a

hero so he's already a hero in in my

mind you know the important

place the all the important things

happen in my mind not in the real world

but in my mind Kennedy and Shanahan are

heroes because they did make this

chronic illness

medical situation

um a top conversation and if and if you

know endorsing

Trump can make it an even higher

priority that's that's hero stuff that's

hero stuff that's even better than

president in my opinion if he could pull

that off it would be one of the greatest

Feats in

American productive American history you

know where you're moving stuff in the

right

direction and and he got there without

lying amazing

really so what else has happened um

Trump says he's not he didn't want any

intelligence briefings which he could

get as a candidate if he wanted because

he's worried that he would get a he

would get a briefing about some secret

stuff and then the secret stuff briefing

people would leak it and then everybody

would think that Trump leaked it because

they'd blame him so they tell him

something they'd leak it and then they

blame him for being the leak so Trump

says that's what he's worried about is

that is that a realistic

worry that any briefings would be a

setup to say that he leaked

it I think so I think that is an actual

a legitimate worry now I don't know if

that's the reason he doesn't get him he

might think that they're

fake for example the intelligence people

some of them have said out loud that

they don't think they can trust him with

the real intelligence and that they

would give him like intelligence light

you know the stuff without the good

stuff if he knew that the only

intelligence that they were going to

give him was the obvious stuff

and that they weren't going to tell him

anything good unless it was a

setup yeah there was no reason to be

briefed you know every time Trump shows

you a new version of reality you say to

yourself why didn't I see that on my own

here's the version of

reality remember you used to think that

watching the news was useful it's not

it's all lies remember you when you

thought science was honest and if the

scientists agreed that pretty much

guaranteed it was true nope no scientist

agreeing doesn't mean anything what

about um you know so basically the news

is fake the data is fake the science are

fake and now Trump is telling you that

intelligence briefings are

fake if I'd heard this 15 years ago I

would say that's

ridiculous that's ridiculous but now I

think oh obviously they're fake because

they don't want to tell them the good

stuff so of course they're not going to

they said it I mean you know one some of

the top intelligence people have said it

out loud we'd be afraid to give them the

good stuff I think Brandon said that

so yes Trump would get nothing he didn't

already know because they would leave

out the good stuff and it would just be

a trap for them to say that he's a

leaker so he's completely right not so

much that the leak part is the important

part but that the briefings would have

no

value what's he going to do with that is

he going to change his policies cuz he

heard a secret thing probably

not yeah what's the point of it so so

every time you think something is

important and then you find out I

thought my whole life this was important

and then you find out it's not it's just

a mind you it's just a mind spinner my

mind is still spinning about the fact

that it's true that national security

briefings for the guy who's likely to be

the next president wouldn't have any

value like that's hard for me to get my

head around but I do believe that in

this specific case I believe it

meanwhile the Georgia state election

board they passed this new measure for

the elections that the number of Voters

casting ballots must match the number of

ballots

counted what is the story is the story

that the new procedure is that the

number of Voters has to equal the number

of votes or is the story that it wasn't

true before

apparently the number of Voters didn't

need to match the number of

votes how about

that so there's your there's your most

secure election in American history

where the number of Voters didn't need

to

match the number of

votes until

now now here's my second

question um

was this only an issue in

Georgia was Georgia the only place where

the number of Voters didn't have to

match the number of

votes

the let me tell you as clearly as

possible if the filter you put on our

election system in terms of how fair and

unrigged they are if the filter you put

on it was the experts told me it was

completely

secure oh you're so

lost you're so lost how about take it up

a level all the experts agreed that it's

the elections are too hard to rig it's

very

fair that doesn't mean anything all the

all the experts agreed all the experts

didn't check the machines all the

experts can't even describe the system

in every

state how would the experts know if

somebody hacked into it and was so good

at it they could get away with with it

what expert would know that here's the

filter you should put on it not the

experts said it's true put the dilber

filter on

it all right so you know what the dilver

comic is it's about Mass incompetence

being normal not the exception so that's

the Dilbert filter Mass incompetence is

universal and normal it's just that big

companies are good at hiding it from

their customers because the customer

might just see the product

so if you apply that to the Secret

Service guarding the president suddenly

everything makes sense now there is a

question to whether they were extra

incompetent intentionally that's still

an open question but incompetence can

explain just about everything you see in

the

news and when I look at the elections

you've got 50 plus uh different entities

doing handling

elections you've got hundreds of people

maybe thousands involved in every

state they don't do the job every day as

like paid paid employees or a lot of

volunteers so they have to be retrained

every time the process for the election

itself changes every year for example

this new Georgia uh procedure is new so

you'd have to train people on that and I

could go on and on about the complexity

and the number of people involved but

when you have this level of

complexity you have that number of

people

involved they're not the permanent

employees they just come in as needed

for an election most of them every part

of that screams that there isn't there

isn't the slightest chance that we even

know what's going on in the

election it's the same filter I put on

climate change yep there are all these

thermometers around the world and we've

got all these crack employees in

different parts of the world checking

those

thermometers no there's no situation in

in human history in which you could make

that work that being a big complicated

thing where you got different technology

in different places and the

environment's changing and the heat

islands are moving and they're all

different countries and different

languages and they're they're checking

these thermometers all about half the

time they don't even

check do do you think every single time

in some other country the person goes

through the junk

and then writes down correctly you know

the numbers from the

machine the thermometer or sometimes do

they say ah it's probably the same as

last year I'll just bump it up at

0.1 and then you get paid the same

whether you looked at it or just said

you looked at it now maybe there's some

logs where they would get caught if they

did that but who checks the

logs so my point is whenever you see any

system that's vast and has lots of

people involved

it's always a

mess W with those of you who have

experience in large organizations of any

kind can you confirm this for maybe the

other people who don't have this

experience if you've worked in any big

entity would you confirm that they're

all just a disaster if you know what's

happening behind the curtain they're all

a disaster it's just that over time some

of these disasters can produce an iPhone

and then you say wow industry is

awesome all

right um so KL Harris is trying to be

pro-israel and pro Palestinian but uh

apparently she can pull that off because

her her customers don't care about

anything except not having Trump in

office yeah I think we should stop

pretending that anybody's influenced by

the policies except a handful of um

Independence but people who would go to

the DNC or even watch the

DNC they don't care what the policies

are they just want less Trump that's all

they need so yeah Harris is pulling off

the I'm I'm for both sides

okay

um so who's going to get the Boost from

the uh

DNC so you'd suspect the Democrats would

get a little boost but it's working the

other way um the polls might show a

boost because I think most of the polls

are rigged at this point with

oversampling of Democrats but the

betting markets turned negative on her

so when she should have been getting a

boost the people who had actual money to

put on it they said I think we trust her

a little bit less by the end of this so

that's a pretty expensive uh event to

put on to reduce your credibility

anyway

um now the daily wire says the betting

sites to betting sites have moved in

Trump's Direction they think part of it

could be that revision of the jobs thing

88,000 jobs

revised which means that the biomics

wasn't working nearly as well as they've

been claiming and now we know and the

other part might be the Kennedy alleged

potential endorsement so the betting

markets might be ahead of reality

there all right uh there's a h article

on sa

poost as in

psii um the Democrats rarely have

Republicans as romantic partners and

vice versa did you know that um having a

mixed marriage where you got a Democrat

and a republican were married uh only 8%

of

marriages they disagree on

politics now I would I would say that

makes sense especially in our current

situation but um I would love to know if

the marriage where the the 8% of the

people I wonder if they have better

results of staying married or worse you

know if the 8% who do get married and

one's a Democrat one's a republican if

they can stay married longer maybe we

learn something but if they get divorced

much faster maybe we've learned

something else I'd love to know that

that'd be that'd be this stat I'd like

to see but we are not surprised that the

the country is so divided that we can't

reproduce that's right the country is so

divided that we've lost the ability to

reproduce a replacement level and I

think this is a big part of

it you know it used to be that if

somebody was you know mildly leaning in

the other direction on politics you

wouldn't even care that much it just

wouldn't even part of your you know if

they didn't watch TV and you know go to

events they just sort of mildly had an

opinion maybe even would vote

differently than you that's not a big

deal but today everybody's an

activist everybody either has to love

Trump or hate him and he's the devil you

can't really have that in your

house you can't have that kind of

disagreement in your house all right

here's an update on H Hamas and Gaza and

is

this is from Saul sadka on the xplatform

seems to be pretty tapped into what's

going on over there so here here are the

claims from

Saul um and I know he's smart I don't

know too much about him but he follows

me on X so obviously he's pretty smart

just like the rest of you follow

me anyway he's he says that in a longer

post that I recommend you read because

it's really interesting he says the

humas um are contained and almost

totally

defeated so there's as much containment

as there is defeat meaning that uh

allegedly

177,000 of the humas enemies were killed

already and uh at the cost of

330 um Israeli soldiers who died and

they've got 5,000 prisoners of

war and they're you know taking out

many more as they keep fighting but

apparently now Israel has succeeded in

creating what is called strategic

corridors so it looks like

they're uh putting Gaza into sort of a

grid not not a um symmetrical grid where

it's you know boxes or anything like

that but they're covering they're

they're basically breaking Gaza into

Parts where if you wanted to get from

one of those parts to the other you'd

have to go across some kind of strategic

Corridor and that would be very

dangerous because the IDF would control

it now so that gives them the ability to

stop you know weapons and

resupply of of at least

weapons and it also isolates in one part

of Gaza they think even sinir is areas

they the Hamas so they think the

whatever's left of the

leadership um is in one little section

that's now completely surrounded and

they can't resupply and they can't get

out so that would suggest that Israel's

plan of what they call Total

Victory um might be slow but is now

guaranteed meaning that the only thing

that could stop them from having 100%

control over you know every body and

hole in Gaza is that they're stopped

before they get there but nothing would

stop them unless the external situation

stopped them so they now have have

complete

control um it's a it's a whole different

situation and by the way this is what

Israel said on day one that the the the

understanding of Gaza would be different

you know it's not going to be the same

place so the whole conversation about uh

two State

solution I don't see that

happening but it's not up to me so I'm

not giving you an opinion and I'm not

giving you a

preference I'm just observing like the

rest of you and I don't see any chance

that there would be a two-state

solution to me that just sounds like

something that people have to say so

that they don't look like they're

monsters it's just something you say I

used to think it was real by the way

actually at one point I was in favor of

it but then I realized it's it doesn't

matter what I'm in favor

of at some point I realized I have

nothing to do with that I'm just

watching so you can predict but what

you're in favor of doesn't make any

difference all right that ladies and

gentlemen is all I have I'm going to say

bye to the YouTube and Rumble folks I'm

going to talk to privately the people on

uh locals if I can remember to hit the

correct button this

time and uh as everybody confirmed that

we didn't stream on X maybe we did did

anybody see it on x

anyway
